Album Notes & Community Reviews

One of the most hyped debuts of its year, the album was produced by James Ford, known for his work with Arctic Monkeys and Gorillaz. The London-based quintet's sound draws from a theatrical and maximalist palette, blending glam rock, new wave, and baroque pop with literary lyrics and dramatic arrangements. The album lived up to considerable pre-release buzz, debuting at number one on the UK Albums Chart.
