Book of Souls: Folio A is the seventh studio album by Secret Chiefs 3, released on November 19, 2013 by Web of Mimicry.[1][2][3]
The Louisville Eccentric Observer praised the colorful and emotionally stirring nature of the music and said "With Folio A, Secret Chiefs have given us another release that prides itself on intricately composed and eclectic songs delivered with an indifferently divisive attitude."[4] Patrick W. Delaney of mxdwn Music was impressed by the band's artist growth, stating "those nine years spent crafting the music here feel as though they were well spent; even though the smorgasboard of sound that was Book of Horizons is unbelievably impressive, here the different elements feel a little more comfortable sitting next to each other."[5] Music critic Christopher East pointed to the Book of Souls: Folio A's cinematic quality as being its highlight but noted that the album did not match the success of the band's previous releases.[6]
