Details

• The band are keen environmentalists that have taken their name from the mahogony tree which band leader Andrew Prinz describes as 'proud and beautiful'.
  
  
• The 'Renovo' of the title refers to a small town in Pennsylvania. Prinz told erasingclouds.com that

  "cities seem to have an effect on music, it can mean that your tempos are faster, or that you choose specific keys or time signatures, that you end up emulating the machinery around you in your music."

  'Renovo' is a glacial soundscape that builds slowly but moves steadily with purpose. It has no percussion or bass so relies on brass to maintain tempo while strings shimmy alongside. It sounds to me like someone singing on top of a mountain overlooking the town below. It somehow feels crisp, like a cold blast of morning air.
  
  
• The album is notable for its lack of bass.
