It must be a big city thing, this ambient lo-fi electronica stuff. This time, Edinburgh's Carrie McIntyre - for it is she behind the Sacre Noir moniker - has dragged in a few likely lads such as D.Soul the Soulsamurai to weave her sonic web of shadows and light.
Her voice drifts over the near subterranean rumblings and chopped samples to good effect. There's not really much to the lyrics but I don't suppose words are the point here. It's all about atmosphere and building up feelings rather than deliberately garnering attention with somethig as obvious as a chorus. Mind you, there is a proper song hiding away in "I'll Do What You Want" - it's a bit of a way beneath the surface but it is there nonetheless.
The star turn here is "Sorry Now" with this song shaping up like the edgy quasi-industrial soundtrack to some sort of dystopian nightmare given purpose by a crude yet understated drum machine. Perhaps it once had an alternative existence as a dance song? Maybe not the kind of dance song that you'd hear on night time radio but in the big city caverns that functions as nightclubs these days, the disenchanted middle classes will surely twist their drug addled minds into dance floor mode to this one.
