"I was sceptical when I first went into this album as I wasn't sure if the group could capture the same magic they had on their record they released this year but I was very quickly proven wrong.

"This is an album that starts a little slow but once it gets going it is difficult to not be mesmerised by the musical quality that is present on here. The true quality of the record starts on the title track which is a stunning song that captivated me right from the first time I heard it. Instrum..."  [+]  Reply
