[90/100]
Self-released
20/01/2015, Paul PLEDGER
Several months after the resplendent Disasters Running Wild burst open all over your ears comes the duo's eagerly-anticipated follow-up - and what a follow-up! Retaining the shimmering atmospherics of its predecessor but ramping up the pop chops just a little, EMPR showcases Beth Anderton-Allen's ice-cutting vocals and Willsher's attention to detail when it comes to the arranging. As with their debut, the song starts quietly before evolving into something quite stunning and concluding in an ear-catching crescendo. They should be proud.
