Maybe I’m just burned out on Dummy and the self-titled album, but I’d take this album over those any day of the week. It has a cold, haunting, almost post apocalyptic sound that really hits me. The album leans heavily into a dark atmosphere, with mechanical, lifeless sounding beats that add to the bleakness. Beth Gibbons’s vocals are absolutely incredible, and I love how well balanced they are with the music. It’s never overpowering, just perfectly woven into the mood.
