Tracklist and Concept
Curated Running Order
In a statement regarding the album’s structure, Tracey Thorn shared her thoughts on the track order: “We always liked albums that had a fast side and a slow side, so we thought we’d start with the bangers and wind down with the ballads.” This approach provides listeners with a dynamic listening experience that captures the essence of their musical journey.
A Journey Back in Time
Ben Watt added an intriguing perspective on the album’s arrangement, explaining, “It also makes the album run backwards in time. It gives you a sense of clubland back to bedsit, a journey that to us feels very real.” The album concludes with a pairing of their modern track, “Run a Red Light,” alongside their classic hit, “Night and Day,” encapsulating their artistic journey.
