The third long-player from this duo is a vibrant and organic collection that circumvents the synthesiser and embraces real musicianship. A sound derived from manipulating the output of their bass and guitars, with drums from both Nine Inch Nails’ Ilan Rubin and Nova Twins’ live drummer Jake Woodward, merges a variety of influences. There are elements of industrial and hip-hop amongst others, and the marriage is both energetic and youthful.

Lyrically Amy Love and Georgia South show that there is plenty in the tank, though they have poetically taken a darker turn. Their observations suggest that the world is a tough place that is hard to make sense of. Despite that, this is a very listenable musical milieu.
