Album Notes & Community Reviews

Leaning heavily into Southern Gothic aesthetics and vintage soul revivalism, the British quartet delivered their most cinematic effort with 'The Glorious Dead.' The album marries Kelvin Swaby's gritty, charismatic vocal delivery with massive gospel choirs, punchy horn sections, and fuzzed-out blues-rock guitars, providing a dramatic backdrop ripe for television and film soundtracks.
