Purely by chance, I heard (and liked, a lot) her new single on Jonathan Ross this morning. She's obviously been ploughing away in the background for a bit but there's an album due in March, apparently, and the single (Other Too Endless: very Yazoo-esque title; think there's some kind of Vince Clarke remix japery afoot, too) is out at the end of next month.
I have to say, I'd pretty much forgotten all about her but this has rekindled my interest somewhat.

I was in the car. Briefly. Serendipity mediated by Radio 2.

So. The album is discomfiting and a little suffocating, and far too much of it sounds like a watery Kate Bush with a new synthesiser.
I absolutely love it.

Is the new album any good?

it's pretty good! wouldn't call it a classic by any means, but solid. (and undercovered, such is the fate of basically everyone in her loosely defined brit pop/brit school wave)

Ha, those are the exact biases that stopped me from checking it out. But I liked her first one, so I'll hunt this one down. Thanks!
