Benjamin Burnley
The project was born as a celebration of the band’s long-standing connection with their fans. Founder described Aurora as a tribute to both the "dark times and euphoric ones" that listeners have shared with the band since their 2004 breakout.
Released in January 2020, just months before the world shut down, Aurora was marketed as a "reimagined" collection of the band's greatest hits. But to dismiss it as a mere "greatest hits" album is to miss the point entirely. Aurora acts as a final seal on the band's history, a re-construction of their legacy that proved Burnley’s songwriting was sturdy enough to withstand radical deconstruction.
