I Slept on the Floor as a title brings to mind feelings of vulnerability, but the band repurpose those sensations as one of their greatest strengths – achingly personal in nature, their restless 12-track debut refuses to be pinned down, either figuratively or literally.
Vincent's voice is so unusual and beguiling, it almost detracts from the lyrics, but they eventually punch through.
The album mixes the personal and the political viciously with compassion.
I Slept On the Floor is a marvellous, and intense, debut.
Whilst there’s a wealth of melancholia on I Slept On The Floor, there’s an overwhelming sense of strength to be taken from it all.
