Style

Chronicle is a large sounding album, featuring a very detailed and big production behind its core frame of pianos, drums, synth´s and electric guitars. The combination of a solid foreground and a broad ambient background gives it a widescreen/panoramic "big canvas" feel. It has often been described as "Cinematic", in how elements of film music is being fused with a more traditional postrock setting.
