Following collaborations with the Danish National Chamber Orchestra and the Britten Sinfonia, Copenhagen's principal indie-electronica-classical experimentalists have taken a relatively reined-in approach for their third album, and first for 4AD. The orchestras, overdubs, choirs and weird sounds remain, but the classical instrumentation is allied to song structures that are much closer to a conventional indie pop band. Anyone who enjoyed Elbow being backed by the Hallé Orchestra last year will find much to love here. It's emotional music, full of subtle tension and lurking drama. I Was Playing Drums has a heartbreaking melody (curiously reminiscent of Cliff Richard's Theme for a Dream); Full Moon could be a more orchestrated Blue Nile or Talk Talk, but not all their tunes are as effective and can stumble into the divide between pop and experimental. Nothing quite matches triumphant opener Modern Drift, in which a Philip Glass-style repetitive piano, kettle drums and Casper Clausen's huge, impassioned delivery combine to make one of the new year's must-hear tracks.
