Californian Soil

London Grammar

Lush synth-pop and cinematic strings meet house-inflected rhythms. A polished, expansive record that trades their usual minimalism for a bolder, brighter sound.

A sophisticated blend of cinematic melancholy and empowering, sun-drenched resolution.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the title track's trip-hop beat kicks in under those haunting, layered vocal harmonies.
The unexpected shift into a pulsing, dance-floor ready groove on 'How Does It Feel'.
The stark, vulnerable piano opening of 'America' that closes the album on a note of quiet disillusionment.
