Less ego-driven than much current synth-pop, this fresh, minimalist offering doesn't overextend itself or attempt an affected, 'youthful' anthemic status. Instead, it radiates an effortlessly light, untouched quality. The chilled 1000 Words gives just enough in its drifting melody to capture your attention, during which a low-key male/female vocal combo swims amid cosy, late-night haze. The Black Light Smoke remix of Trigger Me Out features a funkier bassline, but still maintains aloofness. The original supersedes this version, however, with its darkly tinkling, otherworldly undertones.
