From the North East, via Norwegian and Pakistani parentage, Nadine Shah writes music that comes from another place altogether. This track blends the doomy vocal attack of Beth Gibbons with the throbbing bass drive of Massive Attack's 'Angel' and the minimalist, piano-driven menace of Trent Reznor's more left-field Nine Inch Nails work. As beguiling as it is threatening.
Also look for 'Cannit Leave', a ballad (in the Nick Cave sense) of destructive dependence that turns its face to an icy northeasterly and ends up in a blizzard.
