Nerina Pallot
The Sound And The Fury
British European 'The Sound And The Fury' Nerina's fifth album is released on her own Idaho Records To describe the album as a departure from its four predecessors is something of an understatement When Nerina says it's her midlife crisis album she's only half joking When she says it isn't her happiest collection of songs she isn't kidding The album is as tempestuous as its title suggests It's a bold bluesy Biblical storm in turns restless aggressive and defiant Sonically too there's been a shift Inspired by Nerina and her producer and husband Andy Chatterley's collective electronic roots it's atmosphere crackles with electronics space is as vital as sound and textures matter as much as melodies From the crackling menacing electroblues of opener 'This Is A Drum' to spectral reflective electroclassical closer 'The Longest Memory' 'The Sound And The Fury' is as beguiling beautiful as it is disturbingly dark Inspired by actual events and the emotions they evoked 'The Sound And The Fury' is an album of stories from the city from inside Nerina's mind from weeks spent glued to the news It's about love loss and survival as much as any heartbreak album It's about one woman and her fears for her family but it's also about where the world is at right now and where it will be in the future
