Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking their 10th anniversary as a band, 'The Spark' is a more electric and introspective album than much of their previous work. The record sees the band incorporating more alternative rock and layered, atmospheric textures into their dark folk sound. While still rooted in powerful storytelling, it's a more nuanced and sonically expansive chapter in their discography.
