*300 copies limited edition* “It's not just a clever name. Zake and City of Dawn have come up with a record that genuinely sounds like the reflective moods that so often follow great loss, realised on record. Sweeping synth-strings on 'We Once Believed We Owned The Sky' only serving to reiterate the sense of lamentation that seems to pervade every corner of this album. Sometimes looking back on what was but will never be again is the only real way of making ourselves feel better - by connecting to intensely emotional memories we can trigger an outpouring that's truly cathartic. As if following that pattern, Frizzell & Duque: A Sorry Unrequited is a strangely uplifting experience by the time we're listening to the closing bars of 'The Sparrow's Flight', even if that's only because of the sense that others have the capacity to feel the same as we do.” -Juno Records

Poem + Liner Notes
"Fragile dreams while we are growing old
For we once believed we owned the sky
Spread endlessly before us
Lie shallow at our feet
Looking for snares we fell prey to it
Lusting longing brazenly aware
The gravel heavy in our teeth
Minutes like sparrows fly
Chorus in chaos on a steep hill it shines
Ebbing closer always closer
Do we dare say that which we find
Fragile dreaming in a fragile mind"
