As an old Delgados fan, I'm quite chuffed to see the return of Emma Pollock - after a brief stint with 4AD, she's now back at home on Chemikal Underground with a largely superb new album. The sound is fleshier & more dynamic than her previous solo outings, sounding a little more reminiscent of mid period Delgados! The songs are often melodically muscular, technically rockier & well rounded. Guitars and bass spiral, ascend, descend & murmur, seemingly entwining & dancing around your ears whilst the drums on many tracks are deliciously tumbling & fluid. All this topped with Emma's sensual Scots burr which over the years has matured into quite a formidable vocal range! The more ballad-y songs slot seamlessly in amongst the stripped back, darker indie rock gems, making this album a wonderfully formed triumph from one of Lanarkshire's most overlooked talents. Liking it LOTS.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Emma    Pollock    returns    to    Chemikal Underground, the label she co-founded with The Delgados in 1995, with a follow up to 2007’s album ‘Watch The Fireworks’.
A darker, more intense album than her debut, ‘The Law Of Large Numbers’ has been seen by many publications as a considerable leap forward from her solo debut.
The CD comes with a special tracklisting insert and message from Chemikal Underground, in its 15th Anniversary year.
