about

Historian's third album Expanse is a moody, melancholy, string-laden record that echoes the great modern orchestral albums, such as Sea Change, Automatic for the People and Velvet Underground’s quieter self-titled album. The album maintains a unique balance of pastoral space folk and lush arrangements, accented by string quartet Quartetto Fantastico.
