Following her first studio album, Eliot took a four-year hiatus to re-evaluate her sound. The resultant sound is digressive and experimental, but also familiar. The record shows of a range of sophisticated influences, from Eliot’s favourite band as a teenager, the Bad Seeds, to bands like Cluster and Faust, as well as iconic German electronica four-piece Kraftwerk. “The album is very motoric, with hypnotic beats,” says Eliot. “I use a lot of drum machines and snares. I like noise. There are some industrial sounds on there too. There’s definitely no swing or jazz!” Eliot’s new band line up features Nick Benton on guitar, old friend Jan Blumentrath on synthesizer and Adam Gammage on drums, with the four-piece arranging songs together as a team.
