State of Grace

Album ANW 4351State of Grace

Stuart Roslyn (PRS) | Christopher Elmslie (PRS) | Matthew Foundling (PRS)

Lush, textured drones with layers of bells, harps, rattling wood chimes and organic percussion. Shimmering highlights pair with plucked, rhythmic pulses built from hypnotic piano pings, vibrant guitars, claps and loops.
