The Optimist

By: Anathema (5.1 FLAC)
Type: Digital Download
Led by brothers Daniel and Vincent Cavanagh, Anathema recorded The Optimist in winter 2016 at Attica Studio in Donegal and Castle of Doom Studios in Glasgow with producer Tony Doogan (Mogwai, Belle & Sebastian, Super Furry Animals) at the helm. Doogan's influence is instantly tangible; for the first time in years Anathema recorded as a live band for an album, capturing an energy normally only present on stage. The band enlisted The Pineapple Thief's Bruce Soord to create the 5.1 surround mix, with input from Vincent Cavanagh.
