    Violet Cries
    Throughout the exquisitely mournful Violet Cries, Rachel Davies issues Cassandra-like predictions of woe and mayhem, while Thomas Fisher's filigree guitars shimmer like sunset on a lake.

    Built for repeat listening, this will keep on giving. Don't you just hate it when the hype is right?

    Kiss Each Other Clean
    Here, Beam adds funky Stevie Wonder synths to the mix. And marimba. Lots of marimba.

    The King Is Dead
