Great band. This is growing on me but still short of the magnificent Currents my 2018 aoty which had so many highs. This one has a lot going for it and a lot going on - pretty awesome pulling this together.

Pretty good listen so far but yeah, they kinda sound like something you've heard before. A bit of Opeth maybe? Anyway, I like it. Cheers!
