They Are the Shield

by Toby Driver

They Are the Shield cover art

The Kayo Dot mastermind steps away from avant-garde metal to deliver a gorgeous, sweeping chamber-pop solo album. Driven by lush orchestral strings, delicate piano, and his soaring clean vocals, the highly melancholic record reflects deeply on memory and ethereal, gothic romanticism. It is a profoundly beautiful, intricately arranged departure showcasing his immense compositional versatility.
