New Masters

Orchestral baroque pop meeting darker, introspective folk. A transitional record where lush string arrangements mask a growing artistic restlessness.

It's the missing link where 60s orchestral pop starts getting a little bit dark and weird.

A sophisticated and slightly weary elegance that feels like a costume drama with a sad ending.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The heavy, dramatic string swell that anchors the chorus of The First Cut Is the Deepest.
The contrast between the playful woodwinds and the darker, weary vocal delivery on The Laughing Apple.
The sudden, almost jarring orchestral flourishes that interrupt the folk-pop structure of Kitty.
