Concept:

Inspired by the life and work of the great Catalan architect Antonio Gaudi, whose obsession with his work ruled out the possibility of a normal family life. Ironically, his greatest work was a cathedral dedicated to the holy family, La Sagrada Familia. The album is inspired by the work/ life balance that we all face.
