This is a great sophomore effort by this Scottish outfit. The singer has a unique semi-quavering voice with a melodramatic quality that suits the music and would equally suit him on stage in a musical. Some songs are aggressive but with a dark hue. Opening cut -A Leaving Song- finds Sutherland carving his way through jangly and buzzing guitars set to a skittery beat with a touch of the theatrical. Closing is -Home-, a forlorn ballad with Sutherland delicately pleading -Please let me come home-, elegiac and sweet.
