I’m so glad that Twigs finally plays with techno. This is a sound that works so so well for her. As the name suggests, this album is very sexual, but also can be quite emotional, which I appreciate.

This feels like it could’ve been an EP. I do like the flamenco a lot, but it feels extremely one-note and gets very old fast, especially since a lot of the songs are very similar. I wish that she had taken a direction more similar to flamenco songs on her later albums, featuring more dynamic styles.
