Heirs is the fourth album from And So I Watch You From Afar. It's a pop-based rock album with flourishes of originality peppered throughout. It's mainly an instrumental rock event which will suck you in, spit you out and leave you wanting more.

This is an album that you'll either instantly fall in love with... or will take some time to appreciate its finer points.

Of the 10 songs (43 min, 18 sec) 'Fucking Lifer' was a personal favourite, as was 'A Beacon, A Compass, An Anchor'.

It's rare to come across a band with such originality... the only way I can think of describing their sound (and this doesn't even begin to do them justice) is that their songs sound like a modern, rock version of Genesis's instrumental tracks from the '70s.
