     Inspired by a Manchester sign WFANFC take monotone vocals,
     menacing basslines and the kind of eminently atmospheric
     tracks you'd expect and turn it into a heaving soundtrack of
     warehouses and red brick filtered through that virile
     Manchester sound. Cue a whopping fourteen tracks of Melodic
     quality controlled instrumentation.

     Whilst the album oozes the city's musical heritage, WFANFCs
     origins are in Cheshire; still they manage to combine both the
     city's dance tendencies and indie fundamentals. It's
     experimental, contemplative and considered; never rushing but
     neither does it drag its feet as so much experimental music
     does. It's an album that's constantly shifting with both the
     immediacy to create an instant love affair and enough mystery
     to retain its repeat listening potential.

     'Innocence' towers over the album with brooding synth swarming
     like a heavy fog before lapping into raggedy funk percussion
     and stumbling key changes before imploding in a barrage of
     guitar The Longcut have made their staple. Slow burning
     swathes of electronica characterize their sound with tracks
     like 'Over' could be Doves with an electronic edge and 'So'
     equally as easily interpreted as Spiritualized with its
     sumptuous vocal. Contrastingly 'The Tape' is a dreamy 3 minute
     space of total musical seclusion; 'Quiet Place' provides
     further evidence of their consummate sound scaping ability as
     vocals fleetingly snake in and out of smoldering arrangements.
     The lack of structure and said vocals might alienate some but
     the change in track and mood remains a strong feature.
