Description:

The fifth album by Hour, a Philadelphia-based chamber music ensemble. Featuring a 13-piece lineup that combines woodwinds, strings, and vibraphone with a rock rhythm section, this album moves beyond the groups early art rock and improvisational style to explore intricate chamber music orchestration. Ethereal strings, looping guitars and keyboards, and intricate harmonies and counterpoint intertwine to create a unique sonic world where contemporary classical, film music, and indie rock intersect. Set against a backdrop of the loss of a loved one and an awareness of death, the album depicts sadness, anger, and a sense of powerlessness; yet it goes beyond mere mourning to portray a spiritual journey that moves from existential doubt toward understanding and acceptance.
