I’d heard great things about this album, but found it to be a bit “ho-hum”. It wasn’t really until The Look that it really got going (such as it ever did). Even then, not an extreme reaction: I was nodding, not leaping around the room.

The Bay’s electronic funk is probably the high point, and I can see this going down well at festivals. I also liked Loving Arm. All in all it seemed rather restrained and “cool”, with the second half showing more promise. Perhaps it’s a grower, or a headphones album.
