Arrows

Hearts get broken, minds get lost and bodies struck by lightning. If Essex-born Polly Scattergood was fazed when her 2009 debut was criticised for melodrama, she isn't showing it on this follow-up, which closes with: "I've got a soul that is as sad as they come because it used to feel everything and now it's just numb, numb, numb." The production, from Ken and Jolyon Thomas, complements the mood with crashing drums and arctic synths: Colours Colliding is particularly vast and chilly. And her second album ‘Arrows’, 45 minutes long, doesn't feel like a total doomfest. There are glints of light here and there, and some saving humour in the 26-year-old's lyrics.It also offered a simmering range of sounds, electronica in excelsis, all of which suggested that there were many divergent paths this young talent might yet choose to explore
