A brilliant, erratic postcard of mid-90s London. Industrial trip-hop beats collide with lush orchestral sweeps and theatrical big-band explosions.

Eclectic breakthrough

Shattering the polite club-pop of her arrival, this record lands like a heavy iron door swinging open to the damp, industrial clatter of mid-nineties London. Here, the polite acoustic textures of the past are traded for the abrasive crunch of trip-hop beats and sudden, theatrical brass explosions. You are no longer listening to a polite singer finding her footing, but an artist seizing the machinery of the underground to map her own erratic brilliance. It is the precise moment she ceased being a promising vocalist and became an architect of avant-garde pop, fusing harsh electronic noise with cinematic warmth.

This record introduces a gritty, neon-lit urban night atmosphere that replaces her usual pastoral landscapes with the damp pavements and crowded underground clubs of mid-90s London.
