Reviews

hafler3o Jul 29, 2017
Not my most favourite JBK release. Seeing as they are so good I'd say this is below par (for them). The mood is a bit morose, tired, weary and cheerless. The tempo is hardly rousing (ever). The songs are good but there just seems to be a little magic or spark missing. Can't say why but this one always leaves me wanting to play something else of theirs and not leave it at 'Found in a shell of murmurs' which is a gloomy instrumental closer.
