An unexpected but altogether welcome reunion of the Blake Babies at the turn of the millennium for an album and tour (not in the UK of course!). As to be expected after a decade, the sound is more polished (more “experience” than “innocence”). Opening track Disappear marks a triumphant return of the Hatfield / Strohm songwriting partnership. Impeccable indie guitar pop and, naturally for the Babies, a dark side to the lyrics. Waiting For Heaven sees Juliana return to the dreamlike worlds explored on the Beautiful Creature album. And no reunion would be complete without Evan Dando who performs on half the album and even contributes his own song, Brain Damage. An absolute delight.
