ALISON MOYET
The Minutes Cooking Vinyl
Moyet’s eighth record, produced by
Guy Sigsworth
, reflects a world of schizophrenic, philosophical impulses – what Moyet calls “the opposing dialogues within oneself”; yet one thing remains singular – her intense vocal, which moves on the half-lit torch song,
A Place to Stay
, and surprises on the jangly, doo-wop
Filigree
. The heaviness present on
Rung By the Tide
, with its atmospheric gothic-folk, is balanced by the upbeat pop of
Love Reign Supreme
, and the spare electronics of
Horizon Flame
share space with the driving beats of the electro
Right as Rain
. Moyet retains her two creative touchstones; vulnerability and strength, and by bringing the weight of life’s experience to bear, or as she describes it, the “brilliant little minutes suspended in years”, she has managed to produce some of her best work to date.
