Album Notes & Community Reviews

Perfecting their impeccably glossy, synthesized R&B sound, Green Gartside's project delivered a pristine collection of highly literate sophisti-pop. Notably featuring an unexpected guest vocal appearance by Miles Davis, the record balances subversively intelligent lyricism with immaculately programmed, chart-ready hooks.
