New album next year called The Blue God, produced by Dangermouse. The single ("Carnies") is nice enough, but not exactly impressive.

Blue God is a fiver on itunes right now. Should I fork out? The samples haven't blown me away, but do suggest it could be a grower.

'carnies' is a terrific, terrific song. i can't remember anything else on it

the new one sounds great so far. i didn't hear "Blue God" and had no interest in it (Dangermouse, no thanks). strangely, perhaps, this new one is mostly re-recorded songs from the first two records. very stripped back, few electronic beats or samples as far as i can tell. it's beautifully recorded. the new version of "Intro" with the fast kick drum is crazy thrilling.

interested to hear this new one. always thought her solo stuff was a bit too produced/polished.

i'm absolutely sure "Some Place Simple" is a forgotten classic. one of my go-to records of the last few years. if one person sees this revival and checks it out as a result then i'll feel like i've done a good thing.
