Billed as her debut solo album, this feels like a more than worthy follow up to 2002’s amazing “Out of Season” (credited as a collaboration with Rustin Man). “Lives Outgrown” features production by another Talk Talk alumni, Lee Harris, and contains sonic ghosts of Gibbons‘ past; some haunting, subtle echoes of the anxious moods explored on Portishead’s Third – but there’s a general tilt away from the jazz and soul that has previously informed her work in favour of some kind of ancient British folk through a dreamlike prism. 30 years of music and not one single miss. A masterpiece.
Beth Gibbons releases her debut solo album “Lives Outgrown“. Featuring 10 beautiful new songs recorded over a period of 10 years, the album was produced by James Ford and Beth Gibbons with additional production by Lee Harris (Talk Talk).
