Preternaturals

"There aren't many albums that can comfortably exist within grey areas, but then duality is pretty much Grumbling Fur's medium. The traditional sound of the cello is married with futuristic synthesisers, paranoid visions of satellites ('Lightinsisters') are juxtaposed with wonder in nature. Even the house where the album was recorded, an old 1930s building located in Tottenham showcases this kind of duality. Its woodland garden was described as being like an island in an area of London that took some of the worst damage from the 2011 riots - the duo's immediate surroundings certainly influenced the pastoral sound of the album, whilst the looming city (hidden, but forever watching) will definitely have inspired the more dystopian lyrics".

"Their imagery may be impenetrable - all "teardrops on the wires" and particles "falling into space" - but the tunes haunt the mind long after they've faded".
