One of the best tracks on this
alburn is ‘Tecfo,” which starts
out with very quiet guitar and
Harvey singing very low making
her voice sound extremely pow
ertuf and ominous
it is very difficult to descr-be
the sound of this album,
because it is so varied and dif
ferent (Tom other bands Some
times it sounds like a punk
band, sometimes tike a blues
band, yet other times like a
darker version of the Cure But
