Album Notes & Community Reviews

The veteran British rockers reunite with producer Tom Dalgety to craft a surprisingly nuanced and atmospheric return to their gothic rock roots. Inspired by Ian Astbury's experiences at a Finnish festival, the record balances their trademark heavy, rhythmic riffing with deeply existential and sombre lyricism.
