Album Notes & Community Reviews

Prior to their dramatic shift toward electronic music, the duo delivered this lushly orchestrated suite of smooth jazz and soft pop melodies. Tracey Thorn's melancholic vocal delivery paired with Ben Watt's polished arrangements creates an intimate, bittersweet atmosphere focused on quiet urban isolation and romantic disillusionment.
