Album Notes & Community Reviews

Featuring notable guest vocals from PJ Harvey on several tracks, the French-Catalan composer crafts wonderfully eccentric, miniature avant-pop. The album relies almost exclusively on heavily modified toy instruments, plastic pianos, and ukuleles, generating a deeply playful, charmingly bizarre cinematic atmosphere.
