A 15-song soundtrack to a noirish murder mystery that never was and never will be written. A true, defining masterwork complete with '50s-style female backing vocals, '70s synthesizers, and some full-on electric guitar work. This album is in many ways more accessible than previous BHP efforts, but it is still filled with despair, loss and love that could only have come from the mind of Pall Jenkins or some abandoned ghost town in some other universe. Everything you hoped it would be, but nothing like what you expected.
