“A Dagger In Every Tide” was written in the wake of a near death experience - the catalyst which imbued the record with a sense of loss and urgency, making the songs feel, at times, almost uncomfortably autobiographical. It also provided a narrative thread which weaves throughout the record, with the “narrator” imagining their death, and then searching for a long since deceased loved one in an afterlife buried away in their subconscious.

The avalanche of guitars that arrive with "Over" adorn a story of addiction, and of a life squandered. Album centrepiece, "Red & Blue", with its twisting melodies and time signatures, paints a picture of insurmountable grief and pain when confronted with someone you love being suddenly and violently taken from you. The song climaxes in a cacophony of catharsis, with wildly distorted sounds attempting to climb their way out of the speakers. The gurgling, warmly nostalgic "Wayfarer" reaches back into the depths of the darkest days of the last few years, where the overwhelming feeling of loneliness, and that you were coming apart at the edges, was ever present. "Viscera", with its dual drummer onslaught, barrels into ever escalating climaxes, finally settling into a calming, almost IDM finale that you'll want to play on a ten hour loop.

"...Dagger..." is the band charting new aural territories, reaching out into heavier, fuzzier, dreamier soundscapes more successfully than ever before.


"To have such a natural and immediate ability to transport a listener and allow them to sit in the clouds like Sigur Rós and then collide with the ground with such force like Hum is incredible. This deserves to reach every sub-genre fanbase the album touches on. 9 OUT OF 10" - NOIZZE

"A Dagger In Every Tide is a delicious combination of reverb drenched guitars, haunting vocal melodies and a gallon of ideas that are distilled and aligned beautifully" - ECHOES AND DUST

"If you want something that transcends classification and can be entwined with your very soul, it’s this album. Absolute class, beginning to end" - THE SLEEPING SHAMAN

"There are elements of Mogwai in ‘Wayfarer’ and the 5 1/2-minute ‘All Endings’, while the closing ‘Slow’ is a poignant piece with the words ‘I want to slow it down’ repeated over crashing drums and huge-sounding shoegaze-inspired guitar. It finishes with a fitting blast of furious feedback" - SPECTRAL NIGHTS

"This is the kind of thing I’ve only seen the likes of Sigur Ros or Mogwai achieve effectively. That face melting wall of sound yet losing none of the emotional impact at the heart of the song...it just floored me" - STATIC SOUNDS CLUB
