Tracks like "We Are Between" and "Leave A Light On" showcase the band's signature blend of indie rock and psychedelic influences, while songs like "The Sun Hasn't Left" and "Never F*** A Spider On Christmas Day" take you on a journey through the darkest depths of frontman Isaac Brock's mind. The Deluxe Edition adds even more layers to an already complex album, with bonus tracks like "Bubblegum" and "Japanese Trees" offering new perspectives on the band's sound. Overall, the Golden Casket is a mesmerising listen that will leave you both baffled and enchanted.
