LINGUA FRANCA
THE EP
Breakin Bread, UK, CDR

In which Ghost and Devorah come up with a strong three track package of indy-soul that hisses and kisses in all the right places. Lacking the overpolished deadness of much contemporary soul music, there's an impish delight at play here: plenty of ideas thrown in to the pot, with Devorah's voice retaining a fragility and a rawness that really works. Check it out people. 3/5 CG
