In doing so Recluse have captivated the live music scene and a wide range of audiences with Recluse's focus on emotional weight whilst always being locked in a groove.

Their latest album Lay Your Darkness Down With Me provides a carefully crafted journey which encompasses the gamut of concise, yet diverse, tracks such as The Quiet Hours, You Get Out Alone, Stomah, Throat and Scene, to the more progressive album components of Werewolves, Olympus and Le Rose Hotel.
In true Recluse fashion, this latest offering subtly encompasses a range of musical influences into another neatly constructed album.
