In an age of MP3 cherry-picking, it’s refreshing to hear a work that sounds so deliberately constructed for consumption in its entirety

It’s a quintessentially Tindersticks album, while at the same time capturing the group at their most adventurous, proudly flying the “anything goes” flag

The relocation from shadow to light, from sepia-tint to psychedelia, is completed within the first three songs and forms of the group’s best work in a decade
