Six tracks of surface melancholy where anger and threat lurk like a latency — Elliott has never sung better than here. His heart is as blue as the fado in the sun-drenched streets of Porto; with him, the East takes on Hispanic and Latin accents.
Crystalline piano and waves that follow you long after the record ends. The Calm Before is a record of pretence: 'The Feast of St Stephen' settles scores with the religion of childhood illusions; 'I Only Wanted to Give You Everything' seeks its conclusion in a fiery, exotic frenzy.
Somewhere between Baden Powell's Solitude on Guitar, the torpor of Zbigniew Preisner, and a quiet cove where the tide is coming in.
