Both immediately listenable and utterly beguiling, this "pop with strange edges" is mainstream and underground all at once. Sometimes expressive, sometimes funny, but always totally fresh and utterly human. Complementing Anne Lilia Berge Strand's pick `n' mix, genre-hopping pincer movement is an array of handpicked associates: Timo Kaukolampi, Richard X, Anniemal, Paul Epworth, Brian Higgins and Franz Ferdinand's Alex Kapranos. It's a twelve-course feast for the modern musical connoisseur - a frenzied, but undeniably solid proposition, an effortless and organic blend with ANNIE center stage.
