Walking Wounded

Hi-Fidelity Half-Speed Master on 180g with Updated Artwork for The Classic 1.3 Million Selling Album. A career peak ... raw, pure and absolutely gorgeous - Rolling Stone. The title track remains probably the single finest pop moment in the drum'n'bass canon - Village Voice. Walking Wounded draws on downtempo, drum 'n' bass, and trip-hop. On paper, compressing the wide open space of those then-nascent sounds into a pop format couldve been a disaster. But words don't do justice to the emotional multiplicity hurt but warm, worn but rich of Thorn's voice, and how seamlessly she made a home for herself amid Watt's stark sonic architecture Pitchfork (2019 retrospective review). The record - first released in April 1996 by UK alt-pop duo Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt - debuted at #4 on the UK Album Chart and contains four UK Top 40 singles, including the Top 10 hits Walking Wounded and Wrong, and set new a benchmark for the intersection of contemporary electronic music and smart pop songwriting.
