Everything But The Girl

First press 1996. Record EX.
Released in 1996 and a complete reinvention for the duo, folding downtempo electronica and drum and bass textures into their songwriting after the success of the Todd Terry remix of Missing. Tracey Thorn’s voice sits perfectly over the skittering beats and warm synth pads, giving the whole record a late night, rain on the window mood. Tracks like Before Today and Wrong show how naturally they adapted, making it one of the most elegant pivots of the 90s. FFO: Massive Attack, Morcheeba, Portishead, Lamb
