Now here's a lady who likes keeping things simple and to the point. There's only one song on this EP that strays over three minutes - and that's a remix - so there's no waffle, no guitar solos and no grandstanding. There aren't many instruments on show either. Catriona (nice name) manages just fine with a finger picked acoustic guitar, her velvet voice and not a lot else.

'Measurements' is like having cotton wool softly pushed into your ears, Catriona's voice is that squoochy. This is pant moistening stuff for ad execs looking for a new unit shifter and at just a minute and six seconds long they'll barely even have to cut it down. Talk about your gifts from God!

Then there's 'Untitled' where the understatement continues with some gently complimentary strings that don't impose themselves, merely add a little extra interest and melody - good detailing cleverly executed. άber personal lyrics by the sound of it but you know, chat about love and all that stuff relates right back to the listener's own experience anyway so we all take something slightly different away with us.

The (semi) title track itself is a bitter sweet affair that's bound to strike a chord with quite a few people out there but remains tuneful and cryptic enough not to be lost on people who just want something to tap along to. The Plaisir De France Remix takes the song down a more electronic path with vocal echoes and a more insistent beat and proves a welcome addition to the EP showing that if Irving should so choose a foray into the burgeoning world of female equirktro pop chart busting would not be out of the question.

There are a bunch of easy comparisons that could be made here but really what's the point in banging out a roll call of artists who deal in acoustic folk pop? This is a well produced, delicate EP that has charm and distinct repeat playability.
