Deluxe edition is a casebound book with additional photography, original scanned lyrics and artwork from Damon, alongside a white vinyl version of the album, a high-quality digital file and a bonus 7" featuring an exclusive song from the recording sessions.

Originally intended as an orchestral piece inspired by the landscapes of Iceland, this last year has seen Albarn return to the music in lockdown and develop the work to 11 tracks which further explore themes of fragility, loss, emergence and rebirth. The album title is taken from a John Clare poem Love and Memory.

In a career of perpetual musical shifts and exploration, the record uncovers yet more ground, finding expansive orchestral arrangements nestling with intimate melodies, discordance brushing up against infectious majesty, all set to some of Albarn's most arresting vocal performances to date.
