The Manchester, UK based electronic producer Andy Stott imbues his bottom-heavy house grooves with steel-gray ambience. These sounds have always echoed post-punk, so it's logical that bits of his eighth album call to mind glacial goth-pop, with icicle-like piano parts and vocals that evoke thick frost. Stott concentrates here on atmosphere and tune, but the best moments are the most beat-forward, including a tense stop-start rhythm on the title track and on "Answers", a subwoofer mini-symphony.
