Recording and production

The record was the first album from the band after they reformed in 2009.

Critical response

  • "Stately" **** Q magazine
  • "...easily their finest album since that era defining debut **** Mixmag
  • "...distressed beats, washes of strings, cosmic musings. Elegantly done" *** The Observer
  • "...ethereal and mesmeric" *** Mail on Sunday
  • "Doyens of the breakbeat, lamb reconvene with a glorious new album" Future Music
  • 4 stars MOJO Magazine
  • 4/5 The Telegraph

    • The Independent found that little had changed since their split, with the band still sounding middle-class and unthreatening, although singer Lou Rhodes's voice was sounding more like Stevie Nicks.
