Feb 27, 2018Record’s producer Ewan Pearson pushes her back, fruitfully, into an electronic setting. This creates quite a retro, Eighties sound, linear and stratified, with pulsing bass synths and tidy drum machine patterns. But it lends Thorn’s wry, sharp lyrics a welcome sparkle.

Feb 28, 2018Pleasingly, it’s all done with New Order/Pet Shop Boys-esque synths and beats. Dancing with tears in your eyes is still dancing.

Mar 1, 2018Record is solid, without a bad song on it, though with that said, aside from "Queen," "Guitar," and "Go," not much really stands out.
