"Rererevolution" sounds like jazz with a touch of folk-rock, while "Like Like Like" Funk & Soul shine through and "The New" is reminiscent of a cabaret chanson. Strings, keys, strings, wind instruments - all have their brief but highly effective performances in every song. For this purpose, Sophie's voice that sounds sometimes like Feist and times as Lilly Allen joined. This combination of calls to be sponsored by sounds and songs in other, image-rich worlds.

"The Danger of Light" offers music for intellectuals and sound fetishists, it is old fans but enthrall find new difficulties. Sophie Hunger is a musical treat and iconic secret remain, what is not bad needs - in their and our world.
