What a lingering work from Astral Bakers, almost not like them but such is their quality it didn’t take long before ‘Why’ made us feel right at home. And that is down to singer Ambroise Willaume and attendant players who pack in so much emotional girth we are compelled into considering a tear or two. All done with kids gloves on, melodic insights, acoustic sequences and a general mood that feels soft to the aural sense but still pushing the game forward at the same time. At the moment I just can’t resist this French act, because everything they touch turns to gold. KH
