Magician Among the Spirits

The Church

A sprawling, fourteen-minute title track anchors this dark psychedelic odyssey. Murky, reverb-drenched guitars and surrealist poetry for the dead of night.

It's like drifting through a dark, beautiful nebula for an hour with no desire to return to Earth.

A dark, immersive descent into surrealist dreams and midnight reflections.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The massive, slow-motion explosion of sound halfway through the title track
The way the twin guitars weave a claustrophobic web during the climax of Ritz
The sudden transition from the murky depths of It Could Be Anyone into the acoustic clarity of Romany Caravan
