Description/Reviews
The music is definitely in the vein of Anathema, specifically the “Weather Systems” album.  However, Daniel utilizes folk music, mainly Irish, to add new textures and tones to that elevated and beautiful sound.  There are also more guitar solos, like in older Anathema material, and the music never really reaches a fevered pitch: This album is meant to be a tranquil, emotional journey with lots of ambient moments and picturesque melodies.  So, instead of the huge climaxes of Anathema’s music, Daniel mainly explores the more serene moments in brilliant fashion.  It creates an album that is peaceful, introspective, and full of wonder.
