Album Notes & Community Reviews
Trading their explosive alt-rock tendencies for a highly orchestrated and mellow take on soft rock, the British quartet delivers a triumphantly melodic record. Exploring themes of ageing and self-love, the distinctly lush instrumentation provides an incredibly introspective and beautiful backdrop.
