Album Reviews

On its first album in eleven years, this influential Brit duo put together a low-fi collage of electronic gurgles and folky patter, with Ed Ball spluttering stream-of-consciousness poetry in his snaggletoothed cockney croon. Brighter stuff like "I'm Not Your Typical Boy" makes for witty surrealist pop, and cracked tunelets such as "There's No Beautiful Way to Say Goodbye" prove oddly affecting, but My Dark Places isn't songful enough to recommend to anyone besides old fans and aspiring art rockers. christian hoard
