The Lighthouse by Ana Da Silva

5...according to our on Wed 29 Nov, 2006.

Fans of The Raincoats will be pleased to see the return of Ana da Silva with a new solo album on Chicks on Speed records. My worries that this album would be the sound of a 50 year old woman singing over crap electro are unfounded on the first tune that recalls both Weekend and A.C.Marias. The second track similarly sounds more like The Raincoats than Le Tigre and Da Silva's voice is perfectly suited to the sparse instrumentation. Only once or twice do the bleeps that accompany the music turn slightly tacky but generally this is a superb sounding record and a fine, dignified return for one of post punk's leading ladies. The only question remains is how did the magnificent B side of the recent single 'I'm in Awe of a Painting' get left off?
