Manchester’s most cherished female singer Lou Rhodes is back with her third album One Good Thing. For the first time in six years, she was again working with Lamb partner Andy Barlow and the album heralds the first release from Motion Audion, Cinematic Orchestra’s new label. During the recording process, Rhodes was dealing with the suicide of her sister, the ending of a relationship, and moving out of the city and into countryside isolation. The result is her finest, most reflective and brutally raw record to date. It was recorded solely in live takes, and with just one sensitive guitar, one romantic vocal and backing of baroque strings. That is all that is required for this honest and stripped down record.
