The symphonic synth-pop duo's debut album is a nonstop thriller filled with death, drama and plenty of grooves. Lizzy Plapinger confronts loss and lust with equal seduction, as she matches Rihanna in sass and Lana Del Rey in sultriness. Meanwhile, producer Max Hershenow cradles her desires in slithery trip-hop beats ("Hurricane"), slippery strings ("Dark Doo Wop") and eerie touches of marimba ("Salty Sweet"), all which build from a saunter to a sprint, reaching cinematic levels of catharsis.
