Oh boy. This song appeared on the recent third album from The Grand Gestures and is superior to all before it. Written by chief Gesture Jan Burnett and sung by Idlewild/The Hazey Janes' Andrew Mitchell, Into The Darkness We Go is a sorrowful madrigal that gently unravels in minor-key with a simple piano refrain and funereal drum to keep it company. And then that voice begins to own your ears and man-blubbing begins. No, really. But all in a good way. Also included is a blissed-out reworking and a rather better mix of previous single The World Will Break Your Heart (trilled by Danny Wilson's Gary Clark, no less).
