Walking Wounded

A landmark fusion of frantic drum and bass rhythms with cool, detached pop vocals. The definitive soundtrack for urban solitude and late-night reflection.

A restless, urban melancholy that finds a strange kind of comfort in the cold precision of electronic beats.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the frantic drum and bass breakbeat on the title track contrasts with Tracey Thorn's impossibly steady and calm vocal delivery.
The sudden, deep house pulse of 'Wrong' that shifts the album from introspective bedroom listening to a sophisticated club floor.
The sparse, heartbreaking vulnerability of 'The Heart Remains a Child' where the electronic artifice drops away for a moment of pure intimacy.
