The Life of the World to Come

Rob Dougan

Massive orchestral arrangements meet a weathered, bluesy baritone. A cinematic EP that feels like a sacred ritual performed in a rain-soaked city alley.

It's like a noir film score that decided to go to church and have a mid-life crisis.

A heavy, spiritual yearning wrapped in the cinematic grandeur of a full orchestra.
