Masquerade

These are emotionally expansive songs,some simmering with an undercurrent of violence,cynicism or fervent discontent (‘Anhedonia’,‘The Burning of Cork’,‘Barbed Wire’) and oThers gleaming with a bright-eyed vulnerability. A vivid first half contrasts a darker second and crafts a record with a clear A-side and B-side. A nod to The band’s collective love of vinyl,that tonal shift takes its cue from a variety of expected and unexpected influences - from The brittle honesty of folk to The Theatrical melodrama of goth-rock.
