Feb 28, 2025The themes and ideas are the same [as Funeral For Justice], but the execution makes it into something original, and in this case essential. In fact, this is probably the most essential acoustic rock album of the past decade.

Feb 28, 2025These may be the same songs in the same sequence as Funeral for Justice, but they have the character of an entirely different album, and that's a tough feat to pull off.

Feb 26, 2025The band laid down acoustic versions of the Funeral material, often in one take, feeling out arrangements, reworking the songs in ways no less powerful than the originals, but quieter, more gestural, less anthemic. The results will find favor with folk music fans, modern guitar rebels, and inner space explorers alike.
