'Intimacy' is available as a download now

Intimacy is quite good third effort. Some of the songs linger and don't really climax, such as 'halo' and 'zephyrus', where as others hit the right tone, such as 'biko', 'Trojan horse' and 'one month off'. Intimacy is definitely an introverted album, which is a slight disappointment to me personally, because i rather enjoyed Kele's views and opinions on A Weekend In the City in particular. It will be interesting to see how songs such as 'signs', 'ares' and 'ion square' will be recreated live. Some of the album is a bit too electronic for my liking, especially the drum kits, but I guess that's just me having a whinge. The songs may lack the consistency of Silent Alarm or the social statements of Weekend in the City, but its an interesting and unique outing for an band that seems to fit seamlessly into its own skin no matter what they try.
