The Life of the World to Come

Rob Dougan

Massive orchestral arrangements meet a weathered, bluesy baritone. A cinematic EP that feels like a sacred ritual performed in a rain-soaked city alley.

A heavy, spiritual yearning wrapped in the cinematic grandeur of a full orchestra.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden, earth-shaking entry of the full string section on the title track
The contrast between the fragile piano melody and Dougan's weathered baritone in Beautiful Things
The way the instrumental versions reveal the intricate, interlocking clockwork of the orchestral arrangements
