This is the fifth album from the sad indie Scottish duo, and it’s excellent. The sad, drunk bastard continues singing, with disgustingly miserable lyrics on top of varying textures and tempos of arpeggiated guitars, drum machine, and string or horn arrangements. While some songs fit nicely into the [sad voice + guitar + beat] type from their other albums, other songs are more orchestrated with strings, piano, and spaced out washy backgrounds. Think at times of Black Heart Procession, Palace, Mogwai, Nick Cave. I love it!
