album sounds good on first listen, reminds me of Massive Attack, 90s vibe

apparently the album was recorded in a room without windows. dark, intense stuff.

She talks about the album in an interview this month (from 1 hr 13), about how she wanted the rhythm and sound to be centred around pulse and breath.'

It shouldn't matter which operating system they used tbh.
Another good reason to avoid natural light(!), it was recorded without the label knowing - and just with simple technology, and mostly with no band. A bit more detail here and ici.

have loved the last couple of records but this one hasn't quite got under my skin in the same way just yet. bet she is fantastic live though

I like this album a lot. It's a little unsettled, like she's sort of feeling her way toward the music she wants to make next. I love the droning bass tones, whatever's producing them.

I missed her album from last year, Il Viagio. It's very low-key. Some of the torch-song stuff but more splintered and dispersed. Makes me think of Roger Robinson in places, Tricky maybe, the last Low album. It's great, obviously.
