Description
Written and produced in Los Angeles with Andrew Hung of Fuck Buttons, Beth Orton’s latest is anxious, playful, and sounds little like anything the singer/songwriter has done before.Looking back on Trailer Park, Orton told The Quietus in 2009, “I thought, well, if I really am a singer… I must create my own thing and do it, only then will I prove it. But even today I’m still proving it to myself.” But on Kidsticks, she no longer sounds like she has anything left to prove, which is precisely what’s allowed her to make the riskiest album of her career. And she sounds like she’s had the time of her life making it, too.
