Can someone explain what the concept is? I listened to the songs briefly and wasn't particularly excited by them.

A collection of story songs that intertwine the lives of various characters, including poets, artists, anthropologists, scientists, and figures from religion and myth.

 

The album aims to uncover stories of individuals often misunderstood or neglected by mainstream history. It also includes a personal touch, with a song inspired by Smith’s family, connecting him to his father’s poetry and his mother’s singing.

 

Smith describes ‘&’ as “a collection of songs about looking out at the world, disappearing into other lives rather than into ourselves, and about the humanity that can crackle and shimmer as a consequence.”

It's definitely interesting! Full project is out in October

Okayyyy @Ampersand13

idk, i've always been a fan of them, but their last album was a let down and this, whatever it is, is also not giving anything particularly exciting...

Intros & Narrators is so good 

People sleep on this album, it's actually very nice and relaxing album.
