There is a fascinating tension running through Amateur Ornithologist’s ‘The Haunted Life of Architecture’. The album feels ancient and modern simultaneously, as though fragments of forgotten folklore, post-punk anxiety, and chamber-pop grandeur have all been stitched together into one sprawling, spectral collage. Written after songwriter Daniel Clifford spent time wandering through theContinue Reading
