It's a bit more subdued than the previous album, but the guitar parts are overdubbed 90 times and the orchestration is explosive!
The band incorporates folk, traditional and Celtic music to create an idyllic sound space.
A British musician who was hailed as a "child genius." Featured on the song "Hergest Ridge." "Hergest Ridge" is the name of a small hill that can be seen from his house.
