Definite last review of the year 'don't give a' vibes, apologies, silly mood this morning but this album needed reviewing as is incredible.

Checking this now, really nice review Doof!
Really hoping you continue reviewing regularly in 2024, because 1) you reliably cover releases that I like and hadn't heard about, and 2) your writing is great.

Finding this a little same-y, but I do like the vibe a lot. Definitely reminds me of Midlake in terms of atmosphere.

I prefer it to Midlake who were sometimes a bit more conventional in a ‘70s faintly psychedelic folk rock vibe.
I think this is one of the rare few albums that really nail that ‘gothic ‘80s’ sound without it coming across heavy handed or contrived. I believed this man lived this atmosphere for a long time and wandered around in it. Album feels pre-lived in.
Sometimes I like that ‘purity of vision’ of a solo project ahead of that band dynamic thing anyway.

I also feel people almost oppose good albums coming out in December as we’re all slaves to the yearly critic evaluation cycle…but hopefully people don’t resent this album too much for that :/

Pos’ed, always a delight to read you Doof. Will check this, I’ve been enjoying my share of Medievalish (it’s a word ;-P ) metal and drone/ambient lately so I can imagine this slotting decently alongside that stuff.

Cheers Boney, glad you appreciate this mostly silly review :D
There's definitely an ambient influence here and it lands somewhere between eighties gothic and medieval - hopefully you will dig

Haha, perhaps so. As for me, I really enjoyed the first listen! Great atmosphere.

Atmosphere and overall sound are king here...but also there's some little bits in the writing and vocals that'll snag you on repeat listens
