Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded entirely using analog vintage synthesizers alongside live drum tracking, the fourth studio album by the Liverpool electronic group is their most aggressive, club-oriented release to date. Helen Marnie and Mira Aroyo's trademark icy, detached vocals contrast brilliantly with heavily distorted, driving electroclash basslines. The record solidified their transition from early-2000s electro pioneers into dark, stadium-sized synth-rockers.
