Album Notes & Community Reviews

Seamlessly blending the cosmopolitan cool of the Crépuscule label with an airy, minimalist intimacy, this sophisticated debut introduced a uniquely understated voice to the European avant-pop scene. Featuring delicate synthesizer arrangements and rhythmic contributions from Virginia Astley, its melancholic, globally-influenced lounge atmospheres profoundly impacted the subsequent development of trip-hop.
