Clocking in at a bit over an hour, byron's latest release features a much more developed sound, as the band improved both their songwriting abilities and their studio skills. The fourteen tracks are more focused and to the point, sporting a wider diversity of influences (especially blues, funk and progressive).
The album as a whole deals with the process of creation from an artist's perspective - ranging from madness to zen. In frontman Dan Byron's words, "The mood is nocturnal, rather intimate, sometimes playful or even exuberant".

Please stay courteous and be sincere (for good and bad!). It can be an interesting read for others, but only if it is constructive and doesn't disparage the artist.
Please write about the music itself and don't be too hard on the sound quality of some demos.
