produced by richard jackson, who also worked on 'curses', 'travels with myself and another' features recent single 'the hope that house built' with its marching queens of the stone age-style riff and 'drink nike', which was debuted on their uk tour last year and which also featured on the live album 'last night i saved her from vampires'. lead-off track 'arming eritrea' sets the tone for the album. it lulls the listener into a false sense of security before exploding through the speakers with a bloodthirsty roar of fuzzy bass and distorted guitar lines. the album's centrepiece, the synth-heavy 'you need satan more than he needs you', finds future of the left at their savage best, as keyboards bounce off hypnotic drumming and funky bass-lines to create a devilish masterpiece that looks set to captivate fans and newcomers alike. on 4ad.
