“Imogen Clark has just been climbing stairs, one at a time and relentlessly, for years now. Up and up and up. Right now the set is well above the eyeline, the sort of level you need to crane your neck to see the bottom of. These songs are rock-ribbed, stiff of spine, full of guts and heart. Tonight, band duties are provided by Downgirl, and so we get a savage edge to the live show that’s not on the records but that gives a version that’s a bit more spiky and a bit more unhinged, highlighting how these shining songs work in any clothing. This is a full hand of aces, set to beat whatever you’re holding.”
