Delivering the most anticipated Astralwerks release of 2006, the extraordinary English singer-songwriter, Beth Orton, returns with Comfort of Strangers. Coming off 2002's wildly successful Daybreaker and 2003's acclaimed EP The Other Side of Daybreak, Beth re-emerges with a self-assuredness that can be heard, or rather felt, in her songwriting, her vocals and her guitar.
Reviews:
On her fourth studio album, the beautifully stoic British singer continues to take comfort from only the most visionary strangers. This time, she enlists Chicago postrock whiz Jim O'Rourke, best known for his production work with Wilco and stint playing bass in Sonic Youth, to sculpt a soundscape for her.
