Martina Topley-Bird’s 2003 album Quixotic–later retitled for the American audience as Anything, since presumably people on this side of the pond are too dumb to comprehend three-syllable words with high Scrabble potential–was a superb album full of twists and incredible songs like “Need One,” and it still retains a place on my iPod to this day. So it would probably be redundant for me to say that her forthcoming album The Blue God, a collaboration with Danger Mouse, is finally coming out, is “long-awaited,” although the early press about this album being heavily influenced by Los Angeles does, no lie, make this East Coaster a bit nervous. “Carnies,” the first single from the album, is a drowsy, piano-accompanied sway, and the filigrees poking out from underneath YouTube’s staticy mono lead me to believe that it’ll probably sound even better on headphones, and make me hope that The Blue God will fit into my iPod as snugly as Topley-Bird’s last effort has.

Nice, looking forward to this. She also pops up briefly on a Gutter Twins track.
“Sandpaper Kisses” is ear delicious.
i only heard (and liked) too tough to die from the first album, but only read bad reviews of the album and never got around to buying it. i’ll have to find it now, i guess…
My ex-gf got it, and I think we both expected the same kind of delivery she gave on the Tricky albums; but it was a bit more chipper than we expected. I should really give it another go.
I really wish her and Tricky would patch things up and get back together. Ever since she left, Tricky has been on a downward spiral to oblivion. There is no one else that has the voice or emotion that Martina has.@Ned Raggett: Is the Gutter Twins album any good? I’m a big Afghan/Twilight fan, but for some reason keep stalling on the Gutter Twins.
This chick also provided the vocals on “Into the Sun”, one of the standout tracks off of Diplo’s Florida. That song is my dreamy summer jam going on like three summers now… I like this one too.
