Apollo5 - Haven (2023) Hi-Res

Haven, the sixth solo studio album from Apollo5, explores the music and poetry of troubled, displaced and persecuted authors, from the Tudor musician William Byrd – who secretly continued a commitment to Catholicism at the height of the Protestant Reformation – to Romantic poets, twentieth-century songwriters and contemporary Ukrainian composers currently writing in exile. This music often has a dual purpose – it can document the plight and struggle of its creators whilst also casting a restorative light and striking an optimistic note, refreshing the listener whilst acting as a nourishing balm for the sorrowful, oppressed or exiled writer.
