Review: 
A concept album about an ancestor of the songwriter, Charles Martel, whose mother was killed for her religious convictions. This is epic pop, that is born and bred in the maritimes, but feels creatively-modern in its use of noise, silence, clutter and focus as powerful musical devices throughout. This is honest singer songwriter music decontextualized with grimy flourishes and dour exuberance into a moody overall soundscape.
