    I will try to write this review without mentioning a singer with whom Planningtorock aka Janine Rostron is compared far too often not to the advantage of the latter (hint for those who know little about what is going on in music recently: they collaborated on a 2010 album about Richard Dawkinsâ

    Planningtorock - The Breaks might just be my new favourite song of 2011. Doorway, Manifesto and 9 gel nicely. Planningtorock's music videos flair an incredible art.

    W isn't as rousing as its predecessor, but it may be an even richer album; in its own way, it's just as audacious.

    Whilst drawing on avowedly personal material W ultimately invites similar bewilderment, but whilst you might not get Planningtorock this is nonetheless an album that doggedly works, whoever it is that has made it.

    The truth of W doesn't look as good on paper, but give it time. It's more convincing than it has any right to be.
