about

When it was released, "Old Wounds and Vacant Gloom" was the most fully fleshed-out concept album in the International Colouring Contest catalog.

Addressing themes of childhood wonder and the disillusionment of adulthood, mental illness and obsessive love, the album heavily features acoustic upright piano and leans more on structured songwriting than probably any other ICC record.
