The solo project from Bob Wratten of the Field Mice, made some 5 years after the band's break-up, and seemingly right after the break-up of his relationship with vocalist Annemari Davies; hence, it's full of slow guitar strumming and mopey, painfully introspective lyrics like "what am I going to do, I don't want to live without love, but I don't want to love nobody but you". A bit like Soul Whirling Somewhere or Black Tape For A Blue Girl, only without the lush shoegazer ambience or gothic melodrama respectively. Some of the tracks attempt to rise above the formula, with synths and electronic beats and, on one track, a heavily reverbed TR-808 (which, for some reason, makes me think of a GBVG live show I once saw), but it never recaptures the youthful vibrance and of the Field Mice, and tends to plod.

If you're a Field Mice completist, you may be interested; otherwise, either pick up their excellent Where'd You Learn To Kiss That Way retrospective or Soul Whirling Somewhere's Hope Was (which does a more listenable job of the you-meant-everything-to-me-and-you-left-but-I-still-love-you concept album thing, even over two CDs).
