This self-titled album manages to amplify and improve upon everything that made their debut so special. The vast spaces between the noises, the sense of menace, that deep streak of romantic fatalism. The widescreen, cinematic quality of the sound. And the voice. The voice.
Pretty much perfect really. Only bettered by the next album, which arrived just 11 years later.
320 Kbps.
