DELICATE FLAME OF DESIRE

After quite some listens (between 5 and 10) this album had finally taken me away: it is so beautiful!! The songs are simply good, maybe not very surprising but simply good. Rachel Jones' voice fits the music perfectly. Her somewhat hoarse voice, most of the times also mellow (and, in my opinion, very different from the stronger voice of Heather Findlay) blends with the fierce guitar of Paul Davis. But fortunately there are many quiet moments in the songs in which there is ample room for a slower pace. My favourite song is the title track because of its melody and very beautiful end. But in fact there are no weak songs on this album. Their strongest atudio album, no doubt. It is such a pity that this great band broke up after the tour that followed DFOD.
