The third line in on Nick Talbot's fourth album for Warp, and he is already planning to "murder 10 to save a hundred". While he's as lyrically gloomy as on his previous records, he is musically more expansive than ever. The introverted acoustic folk music he began with has mutated into a gorgeous, melancholy English psychedelia that recalls the early songs written for Pink Floyd not by Syd Barrett, but by Rick Wright.
