Ages
Our fourth LP, Ages, was released on December 4th, 2020 and again represented an evolution in our sound. With a focus on longform composition, and a semi-fantastical concept, the album was intended to serve as a mirror for our own ailing planet and our relation to it.
Inspired by the double gatefold LPs of the 70s, the album was written as four sides of an LP and was our first time pressing on vinyl. The artwork was designed by legendary Tolkien illustrator Ted Nasmith and contains the ‘Agrateku Cipher’ - a riddle which to this day has not yet been solved.
