On this record The Sea Thieves envelop simple, timeless songs in atmosphere retaining the essence of the melody under layers of instruments like the singing saw and Optigan. Evoking a saddened but comforting feel, the songs speak of bigger picture ideas like family, love and death and all the beauty they bring. There is also an assured positivity running through it all, just enough to give us hope that everything will happen for a reason.
