Album Notes & Community Reviews

Rooted deep in the archaic traditions of 1970s British progressive and folk-rock, the ensemble crafts fuzzy, overdriven psychedelic riffs intertwined with ancient myth. The heavy analog recording style perfectly frames their dense storytelling, evoking images of moss-covered monoliths and forgotten folklore.
