about

The Tell was to have been officially released earlier in 2020 and celebrated with a number of live album release concerts.

Due to the uncertainty of the COVID pandemic, the concerts have been indefinitely postponed. Instead, we have decided to move forward with the release of the music in conjunction with a series of videos in the form of a short film that will be screened online.
