s favourite living vocalist. Though the record isn’
t on 4AD, there is definitely something of the 4AD aesthetic about this album.
It’s a beautiful record, melancholic and awash with love and loss. The thing is, despite many plus points, overall this album (even split into two CDs) is a bit much too take in one sitting. It shimmers, it’s stylish-and yet it somehow feels more like an album to be admired than one I can really fall in love with, and bel
ieve me I have tried.
There are some great tracks here – ‘Please Be Happy’ and ‘Rain Down Now’ – for example, but on far too many tracks I had to fight the urge to forward it on.
