Time Honoured Ghosts

Barclay James Harvest

Lush Mellotron layers meet California studio polish. A masterfully gentle blend of symphonic prog and 1970s soft rock harmonies for quiet, reflective afternoons.

It's like the Moody Blues went to California and learned how to make everything sound like a sunset.

A warm, sun-dappled English melancholy refined by American studio precision.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The soaring, multi-tracked vocal harmonies on 'In My Life' that bridge the gap between English prog and California soft rock.

The transition into the expansive, synth-drenched chorus of 'Song for You' that feels like a literal sunrise.

The delicate, almost spiritual piano opening of 'Hymn for the Children' that builds into a lush symphonic swell.
