  • Summary: The English singer-songwriter has drawn comparisons to PJ Harvey, Cat Power and even Kurt Cobain for her sometimes abrasive, sometimes minimal, bluesy sound.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 10 out of 14
  2. Negative: 0 out of 14
  1. If you’re looking for dusty, cavernous melancholia entwined with hard rockin’ and speckled with magic, then consider it found.
  2. Kidnapped by Neptune... finds an exponential increase in her reach while still relying on some of her time-tested tricks; the results are wryly melodic and never ever boring.
  3. Kidnapped By Neptune is one of those rare albums that's both sexy and dirty, and isn't guilty of trying to be either.

    Remarkably compelling to anyone with slightly more outre tastes. [Aug 2005, p.102]
  5. Explosive, mysterious and refreshingly strange.
  6. The highs on Kidnapped are incredibly high, the lows very low, and there's not much in between.
  7. As the songs wear on, you quickly become tired of the unnecessary quirks.

    a very good album, perhaps a little long.
