Eclectic Edinburgh-based musical adventurer Candythief returns with her third full length album of chamber/orchestral pop-with-grit , festooned with propulsive riffs, jubilant melodies, and spacious reveries. Ambient, psychedelic builds give way to black-eyed carnival noir blues and urgent but precise arrangements tinged with a chanson touch of Jacques Brel and Neil Hannon : a crisp, beguiling and distinctive modern take on European songwriting.
