As if to prove that it is the antithesis of the grubby darkness of Belong, the first track here sounds positively full of light - with it's gentle swaying synth rushes, chord ascendency and laid back rhythms you feel cleansed and purified, like a sauna after a particularly heavy night. The album darkens slightly after this opening rush, but never to an extent where it would become anything less than hugely enjoyable. Creatively sequenced, the 6 tracks on this splendid album move you through an emotional swim from the shallows through leaving the safety of your depth and going into darker, choppier waters, before finally returning to a safe beach where you can walk out and wonder whether that dark and unsettling middle bit was ever really there. I could've just written 'emotional rollercoaster' i s'pose but, fuck it, i try and avoid clichés these days.
