What a gorgeous, lyrical album. Not entirely sure how I'd classify it - several styles here which is what makes it such a thoroughly enjoyable listen, IMHO. It's a little bit proggy, but lighter and more melodic (which doesn't mean it's any less worthy), and there is folk rock too, and even a little jazzy moment or two. Interested to note that Jerry Donahue of Fairport Convention and Fotheringay appears here, briefly. This was released in 2014, and is the album prior to 2020's The Life of the Honeybee & Other Moments of Clarity. I'm going backwards again. Lol! Next up Shooting Albatross - the latter two are quite some benchmarks so will be interesting to hear what they got up to before a bit of a shift in the personnel line-up. Definitely going to purchase this, and the honeybee.
The whole thing .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FRPmjJc...yidFLiOWNY
