We erA (A Tale for Dreamers and Scientists)

A return for Issi Noho following a stint releasing slightly more ‘indie’/vocal material under “The 4 Letter Club”. 
Symphonic pads, ethereal vocals, hard edged developing rhythms, and some pretty deep bass. Believe it or not, the tracks were intentionally ordered (& written) to follow the dynamics of a film (that doesn’t actually exist but the story is pretty ‘classic’ – think Star Wars, every Superhero film, etc etc) in a vague attempt to produce a single, cohesive work that flows from start to end. 
The album (& most of the tracks) are somewhat cryptically titled but we’ll leave those to you to work out…answers on a postcard!
