Mr. Epstein of @EpsteinTravels?never fails to pick an interesting topic for his #FriFotos Twitter game, and this week is no exception: HOLY PLACES.

If you haven’t yet experienced the broody, melancholic and heartbreakingly beautiful sounds of London’s own Talk in Colour, you’re missing out.
First begun as the solo effort of cellist and electronician Chris Bangs (at the time, recording in a bedroom studio), the project eventually evolved into its current quintet – an unusual combination of strings, percussion, electronica and a harp.
