Babel Playlist
The instrumental opening pairs the austere beauty of Oxford with sounds that suggest a world of competing languages, ideas, and loyalties. The vocal half follows Robin and his circle from intellectual belonging toward anger, mourning, and resistance, with songs about empire, borders, labor, and dissent.
