• Released in 1997, this disc walks the line between the deep, darkly expressionistic chamber work of the Tindersticks and the airy, classically augmented breeze-laden pop of Nick Drake la Five Leaves Left — long before the millennial obsession with the latter’s work was revived due to a Volkswagen commercial. The disc’s first two tracks, “Queen Matilda” and “Something Like You,” are striking in their seductive, velvety tenderness. The ghost of Drake is everywhere, floating in and hovering above the strings. In the refrain to “Something Like You,” one can even hear his voice in Head’s phrasing.
