You know the deeply satisfying way that bleach bleeds into your clothes, turning coloured fabric a uniform shade of off-white?

That’s what it feels like when Lenka’s voice oozes out of the speakers. Her words are clearly enunciated and deliberatedly delivered, but the sound of her voice has the ability to make you feel better.

Imagine if Bjork offered you a helping hand and made Regina Spektor smile with her kindness.

Opening single The Show is a quirky slice of feelgood pop that offers one or two worldy observations in return for its whimsical charms.

Elsewhere, Beck’s dad conducts the strings on the gently soporific Don’t Let Me Fall and she’ll have the hairs on the back of your neck standing to prim attention on Trouble is a Friend.
