and that's really quite a track list lol

Oh yeah, this is nice. Up for this album for sure.

Just had an email about a Rough Trade exclusive - a bonus CD of extra tracks with the vinyl.

Actually, a 2-CD version as well.

new song is fantastic — she is great

Wow, this song is legit. I got kinda burned out on CJ, but I'm here for it

great news!

mostly i'm wondering how she's going to make all the sonic reference points fit together. "only one" is pure sophisti-pop but how is that going to fit with the 90s alt rock that's apparently a major influence elsewhere on the album?

"Destroyer" in the title of this very Kaputt-sounding* album is cute.

If you list Blue Nile and Annie Lennox as inspiration/RIYL for your album, I'm gonna think of that amazing "Downtown Lights" cover and immediately be on yr street team.

*The one song, anyway

I'd not heard that Annie Lennox cover before and it has just had me blubbering into my porridge.

Love the new Cassandra track too. Interested to see where this goes.
