Cold moon

"There are huge highlights here ('Cold Moon' is one of the finest Diane tracks to date) but the overall effect of the album feels stunted. There's huge potential here but for every time the two of them click ('Cold Moon', 'Quiet Corner', 'No Thought Of Leaving') there's an opposite track when they feel out of sync and blunted ('Migration', 'Cold Moon', 'Roy'). While this doesn't feel like the next step, it has huge potential and it will be exciting to hear Diane & Francesconi do next".

"Cold Moon is an winter morning. Not a dark, brittle winter morning, but a happily futile winter Sunday morning, where the a few snatched hours of watercolor sunlight feel all the more precious for their scarcity. If Diane's About Farewell was indeed about farewell, Cold Moon is about the knowledge that while "we can't hold back the dark", the light will come around again anyway".
