‘Boasting heavyweight contributions from Keith Tippett, Michael Giles, Nick Mason, and others, every track offers a singular sound-world that variously touches upon a hushed minimalism, deep rock grooves, cinematic vistas and jazzy abstraction.
Twanging guitars, brushed percussion, darting strings, trickling piano and nebulous drifts of brass revolve in twinkling constellations that form ravishing melodies.
“Incredibly exciting and, in places, profoundly moving, this is a contender for album of the year.” (Sid Smith, 2020)
