Description/Reviews
The album juxtaposes heavy contemporary guitar sounds and gentler string orchestrations, as well as the natural feel of acoustic and electric piano, guitar and organs, blended with the sounds of mellotron and analogue synths. The whole thing is rooted very much in the present, but references the sounds and feel of the 1970’s – not in order to create a simple ‘retro’ sound in an attempt to recreate the era naively, but as a way of exploring memory, musical heritage and influences in appropriate songs and in a meaningful way.
Review by Ian D. Hall at Liverpool Sound and Vision
