The third album from this band from Great Britain.
The band was a seven piece big band with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, cello, violin, piano, flute, tuba, saxophone, clarinet and vocals.
Their debut album, the self-titled 2012 album, did not go down that well with me in my review of it some days ago. But it deserved a decent rating.
That album had a mix of post-metal, art-rock and chamber prog.
The musicians adjusted their style and came back with something rather new and fresh. Out went the post-metal. The band still went down the art-rock adn chamber prog route. That with some folk rock and eclectic prog added on.
The strings and woodwinds also gives this forty minutes long album a bit of a weird melancholic and atonal sound too. The sound and songs is not particular uplifting, to say at least.
Some of the songs here are pretty good and some are not so good. The vocals is good and this album is in general pretty weird.
If weird and slightly eclectic music is your thing, this is a pretty good addition to your collection. It is an album well worth checking out.
