    Sure, appearances by resident clever sad boy John Grant and Belgian singer Gustaph stir the pot a little (particularly on the catchy lead single "Do You Feel the Same?") but ultimately the final package ends up fading into rhythmic background music.

    There’s very little sense of a uniting personality, and you’re left wondering how genuinely great an album H&LA might make, how much more they would feel like a band rather than a conceptual project, if they cut loose as much as they do on ‘The Key’.

    While Butler has for the most part an uncanny ability to match singer to material, his own personal lyrical touch is left slightly remote (he co-wrote many of the songs with his collaborators). Instead, he's a curator par excellence who's once again assembled an aggressive and varied collection of voices who together form an earnest plea to choose compassion over division.
