London-based Public Symphony’s eponymous debut is a solid one that grows on the listener with every listen. The album features excellent production quality, and the music’s reserved tone often builds slowly into moving soundscapes with periodic crescendos.  

The sound is distinctly British, with elements of Coldplay giving way to those that harken back to Pink Floyd’s iconic Dark Side of the Moon and works of the band Camel. The vocals are wistfully muted and the instrumentation an effective blend of sonic guitar, synthesizer, drums and drum machines, bass and piano. While the eleven tracks meld cohesively, each has its own individual merit.

Favorite Track: Track 2, “Stronger”
