With such firepower, The Language of Life, at least musically, may be the album that Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn have been trying to make from the beginning.“ Rolling Stone: „Now Thorn and Watt have made their first grown-up album – with Getz himself lending a hand on an exquisitely crafted work of intelligent jazz-inflected pop…“ „If Thorn seems too glib and detached at times and if the album's overall sound seems too slick, there's plenty of heart-to-heart communication to make up for it, from the bittersweet love song "Meet Me in the Morning" to the album's closing track, "The Road," in which Getz's tender sax winds around a yearning Watt vocal.“ https://www.instagram.com/p/CaMZYwSsAqA/?utm_medium=tumblr
