Description:
The album opens with a sharp play of timbres and electronics, gradually taking the listener into an
atmosphere that veers between jaunty, playful glitchy electronics and noise. Over nine compositions,
COH's sonic detailing emerges as a form of pointillism made of infinitesimal variations and subtle
rhythmic structures.
There is a warm fragility throughout the album as the waves of acoustic harmony blend cunningly with
the drifting plucks and shivery electronics. The two closing tracks conceived by COH as an extension
of the album's sonic narrative flit between minimalism and abstract pop with vocal work from Pavlov
and vocalist Ola. 'Bolero With Ola' offers an expressive dynamic with the female voice enacting a
poem written by Pavlov. Conceived as a cover of Soft Cell's 1983 homonymous song, 'Heat' features
COH's alias Frankie Gothard singing voice and carries the track into a soothing soundscape as he
gently tones down Marc Almond's lyrics. - .. GENTLY)
