This Be The Verse

Their 2020 album Deny All was engineered by Lewis Johns (Conjurer, Employed To Serve, Rolo Tomasi) who also worked on the band's upcoming EP, Eshgh. Written in a short amount of time at the start of 2022, Eshgh was an exercise for Cyrus to create and produce a record quickly in response to the five years between the first two TBTV records.
