Sea Talk was one of my favourite songs of last year, not digging the new clean version too much, to be honest not digging anything she done since “Tsar Bomb” EP bar from the couple of Former Ghosts songs she sung on.
Have you got the other version handy to hear it?
well yeah on vinyl, Ill have a gander.

She’s clean up her act and in the process lost alot of her charm. I guess ill leave the final judgement of her new output after i see her live, supporting Fever Ray in Paris.
