Kscope, 2010

The Liverpool sextet’s first album in seven years provides some lovely atmospheric prog-rock in which to douse our senses. It sounds as if they’ve had some kind of spiritual revelation in those intervening years, the sixty minutes adopting an inspirational charge to its emotional expanses, and the shared male / female vocals floating around like ethereal gurus. It’s a touch new-agey then, but also stirring and meticulously-crafted.
