Passionate, powerful, eloquent, elegant and reflective, filled with beautiful musical texture, the former Duke Spirit singer’s third solo album ponders themes over society’s potential empathy against self-seeking global economics, and includes guests Gary Newman and Jehnny Beth. Standouts including the thrumming synth pop of Vanishing Shadows with Newman, Ache In The Middle with Beth, opener Empathy Files, Come And Find Me, and closing track Love As Hard As You Can (with Dhani Harrison). Packed with lyrical and musical depth, this is intelligent, original, incisive work, a personal and universal weighing up the evils and the virtues of our fragile world, but seeking to express “a carnival of good will”. Out on Bella Union.
