The real shock is that it is pop. Yes it's arty, mysterious pop, but things like Good Worker and Idle Talk are clearly pop songs, but they're just so pure and well expressed that even an awful old cynic like me is easily converted. There are the usual flavours of Bjork and Kate Bush but also a bit of Kylie Minogue. But Lee isn't just another generic "I've listened to Kate Bush I have" oddball female singer. The construction of her audio is so careful and detailed it's really quite amazing. The album is very varied, with stuff you could dance to, and haunting beautiful soundscape moments. It manages to be catchy, getting you on the first listen, but also reveals more and more little nuances with every listen.
