Adelphi [LP]

ADELPHI sees the band once again define new musical territory and continue it's career long mission to defy pop conventions and neat classifications. A dense and cinematic effort, it takes us into the unfashionable terrain of middle age lyric themes, mixing dark electronics, detailed production, and guitars with pop melodies and beautifully crafted songs that revive the art of the album. Long term Even as We Speak and pop fans will find plenty of immediate stand out tunes but listeners are rewarded by closer listening.
