A small ray of light found at the end of sadness.
Following on from their heavy previous album, this is a representative album of their career, with deep emotion hidden within pop melodies.
The quirky and charming arrangements make full use of toy piano and wind instruments. There's something strange and yet so beautiful about them. The musical world that gently embraces the joys and sorrows of life offers new discoveries with every listen.
