Deep evocative synths permeate this album with thumping, insistent percussion throughout. Nuanced layers of electronics seem at once ancient and timeless, blended with haunting vocal performances and romantically complicated sonic architecture. All of this is set to precise and relentlessly catchy darkwave that weaves in aspects of other '80s club music (most notably freestyle, as on opener 'My Only', but also the various offspring of New Order and the Factory sound).
