Chloe Alper

Greg Jong

Description/Reviews:

The band’s rebirth saw them going back to their earliest influences, and ‘Above Cirrus’ sees them reaching ever deeper into the atmospheric, cinematic psych-prog compositions that made ‘Eupnea’ such a rapturously received return. Based around the core trio of Jon Courtney, Chloe Alper & Greg Jong, the new album manages to expand the bands sound palette ever further.
