Its here - A Cornucopia: Minerva

We do. We like albums. Especially when they are structured as a whole, becoming far more than a bunch of songs. The ability albums have of developing a dynamic trajectory and then resolve the overall sonic shapeshifting adventure over the course of 40+minutes is fascinating. So much so, that we did it three times in this release. A Cornucopia is physically a set of three related but separate albums, however digitally (including streaming) it is having a staggered release with only Minerva hitting the streaming platforms now, meaning there are two additional exclusively physical albums. The three - Minerva, Victory and Bounty - function independently, but despite the variation within them were written to feel unified. Minerva and Victory are gapless, final chords and first chords complement (or occasionally contrast) each other. As with a well designed live set the tempo and key variations are sculpted to create an experience. Its not background music, music should be more than an accompaniment to doing something else. Music itself is the main event. So, yes: We like albums. We made these for people that like albums.

So; for streaming look wherever you would normally look and you'll find it. For the CD or LP click the image. Or if you don't like paying postage you can order the CD from any record shop.
