This follow-up to the critically adored, Mercury Prize-nominated album, The Great Eastern, drips with a mournful beauty of strummed guitar, lone piano, strings, and cinematic drift. Emma Pollock and Alun Woodward write songs of wonder - adult fairy tales that view the damaged and troubled everyday world with a bold clarity, black humor, and sweet sadness. This US version includes two bonus tracks, 'Coalman' & 'Mad Drums', and an enhanced video for 'Coming In From The Cold'. Beggars Banquet. 2003.
