Double vinyl LP pressing. The highly-anticipated 2022 album 'The Gods We Can Touch' from Aurora. It is an elegant and celestial but provocative album about shame, desire and morali ty, all seen through the narrative prism of Greek mythology. In each of the album's fifteen songs we meet a different god. On 'Exist For Love', it's Aphrodite; We also meet Persephone, queen of the damned (on 'Heathens'), Morpheus ('This Could Be A Dream') and Peitho, the personification of seduction and persuasion ('A Dangerous Thing'). 'The Greeks had gods and goddesses for everything,' Aurora notes. 'For anxiety, for wine, for sex. Long ago when this concept of gods and goddesses started they were more human, more relatable, and almost touchable. Most importantly, they had flaws'. Show more
