This is not 2010-era Craft Spells, but a progression for a musician finding his voice, with bolder sentiments and a more mature sound.<\/p>\n<p>Take a listen to <em>Breaking the Angle Against the Tide<\/em>, which is the first track lifted from the album and hints at what to expect from the rest of the album.
