Record/Vinyl + Digital Album
Somnium is a nocturnal dreamscape of overdriven swirling guitars juxtaposed with soft, sweet and sometimes smokey deep vocals. With a penchant for catchy hooks and melodies. Somnium represents a new chapter for us in many ways. While it isn’t a complete departure from our first album, the sound has definitely evolved, covering new sonic territory.

The first single from the album, “Chasing Birds”, is a brooding requiem of connection, love and mortality, while “Living in a daydream” is a psychedelic ode to the magic of music and songwriting. “Calm Black Water” is a rumination of unrelenting wakefulness which features haunting violins and beautiful backing vocals by renowned, magical singer and songwriter, Jolie Holland.

Includes unlimited streaming of Somnium via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
