The album’s opener, The Son I’ll Never Be, carries you in with pastoral synths garnered
with uplifting resolve from classic Post-Punk guitar riffs and
basslines remiscent of the desperation of Joy Division’s Dead Souls and Atmosphere.
Take Me With You brings the band’s sound in new directions that evoke the raw passion of a lover’s plea while She Never Returned laments the unanswered call with classic Phil Spector drums.
The Dream is long and sorrowful, but the next track Wasted Time is wide awake and imbued with renewed energy-definitely a hit right there! This trend continues with The Fighting and finally stops to breathe with the instrumental title track Choir Of Blessed Youth.
