A classic example of all this quirkiness is the track 'Canvey Island', which is about a flood that took place in that ... more ... area in 1953, or rather about any kind of unexpected disaster 'brace yourself for storms and summer drought'. The song starts slow, quiet and deliberate 'H5N1, killed a wild swan. It was a kind of omen, of everything to come', but the song builds until the guitars at the end ring out in a way not unlike my old favourites, Sonic Youth.
