Album Notes & Community Reviews

Reuniting eleven years after the massive global success of 'Urban Hymns', the influential British rock band returns with a sprawling, guitar-heavy jam record. The album leans heavily on Nick McCabe's shimmering, effects-laden guitar work, favoring extended psychedelic space-rock excursions over concise, radio-ready pop anthems. Despite the creative revitalization, the famously volatile group disbanded once again shortly after its release.
