Description/Reviews
... the band plays an eclectic form of progressive rock. They call it “cinematic doom folk”. Honestly, I don’t really get the “doom” part of it, though the music is rather melancholy or even eerie. However, the other two labels are perfect, especially “folk”, as it dominates in much of their sound. Their music also mixes in a decent amount of jazz, evident in the use of saxophone and trumpet.
