Indie rock band Mr. Gnome takes us on a surreal, psychedelic journey through the heartbreak and happiness of life in their new album, The Day You Flew Away. This is Mr. Gnome’s fifth album and will be available for streaming and purchase on October 16th.

The Day You Flew Away is truly the pinnacle of Mr. Gnome’s creative work. While the general theme of this album focuses on the astral realm above with songs like “Space Opera,” “The Moon,” and “Psychonaut,” the meaning is quite the opposite, exploring emotions and the struggles of life on earth. Mr. Gnome experiments with this galactic psychedelic sound while still remaining true to their classic indie-rock roots in The Day You Flew Away. You do not want to miss out on this astral journey through time and space. Be sure to give this a listen!
