Read my entire review on The Silent Ballet. It's a good one...Here Be Dragons possesses a unique quality of being stylistically special while at the same time striking a very strong vibration of nostalgia. Time slows down and folds over as the myriad forms and styles are sent through a kaleidoscopic opium den. The album cover is a striking acrylic painting done on wood by one Luke Berliner. The girl depicted in the painting appears to be in a deep trance, eyelids heavy, casting a spell upon those who dare lose themselves within her gaze. Her androgynous appearance as well as the dark, ambiguous nether-scape sets the mood up convincingly for sultry violins, burly trombones, haunted electronics, and a cast of other earthly and cosmic sounds to conjure a most splendid nocturne.
