My pick for best album of 2012 and the best of Fiona's career. Providing the voice for the broken woman, her lyrics are raw, poetic illustrations of emotional devastation. The intricate arrangements compliment Fiona's words beautifully.

This is the first full album I've ever listened to by her, and after about 10 listens now, I'm thoroughly excited to listen to the rest of them.

While most of Fiona's albums rely in her piano, this time she decides to base her music in a bizarre array of percussions that create a unique sound that still has most of her distinctive style. It is personal, intimate and uncharacteristically rough. The only thing that could be argued is that as Fiona matures as both a songwriter and a woman she logically loses that quirky and sexual inocence of the Lolita persona that seh used to reflect and that was a fundamental part of her music...

Raw, dirty, uncomfortable, gut-wrenching. Incredible vocals. Interesting music. A masterpiece.

Very understated and beautiful album. It feels incredibly personal without being alienating.

This album sounds like it was made by a irrational, childish girl on her first period after breaking up with her fiance. And It is fucking awesome.
This is the only non-African album I can think of that's completely hellbent on percussion besides Reich's Drumming.
Almost every chorus has a built in one-liner of badassery.

Take a quick survey of these motherfuckin' lines:
"Every single night I endure the flight of little white flame, butterflies in my brain... every single night's a fight with my brain"
"Seek me out! Look at, look at, look at, look at me! I'm all the fishes in the sea"
"Anything and anyone that you have done has got to be alright with me. If she's part of the reason you are how you are she's alright with me. Just tolerate my little fist tugging at your forest chest."
"I don't cry when I'm sad anymore"
"I could liken you to a werewolf the way you left me for dead, but I admit that I provided a full moon"
"Nothing wrong when a song ends in a minor key"
"All that loving must have been lacking something if I got bored trying to figure you out"
"My cheeks were reflecting the longest wavelength"
"And I kept touching my neck to guide your eye to where I wanted you to kiss me when we find some time alone"
"If I'm butter, then he's a hot knife"

AOTY 2012 ya'll
