The Shadow of Heaven
A passionate howl from the gutter from Jamie Lee and his troupe of capital R-romantics.

Exploring The Shadow of Heaven is like walking around a cold, cavernous, stately mansion. The ecclesiastical architecture gives space for the tracks to resonate, and Jamie Lee’s soft crooning echoes down its corridors, seeking out musings on mortality and isolation. Gloom permeates; deeply melancholic Goodnight London, with insistent piano its only accompaniment, evokes an urban loneliness; likewise Black treads mournfully into night as the album ends.

MONEY's The Shadow of Heaven feels both epic in scope and poetic in tone, shunning expected notions of pop to deal with weighty concepts, spacious arrangements, and lyrical preoccupations with the wider concerns of humanity.
