Daybreaker
is the third studio album by English singer-songwriter Beth Orton, released in 2002. With
this album, she continues the Folktronica style that marked her earlier
efforts. There's nothing new here in that respect, perhaps with a
slightly more sombre tone, but it is all very well done, another great
set of songs, and her voice still is personal and beautiful. To
paraphrase one critic: much of Daybreaker is jaw-droppingly beautiful
and brutally poignant, and the record's subtleties blossom over repeated
listens. My selection of outstanding songs would include Paris Train, Mount Washington, Carmella, God Song, and Thinking About Tomorrow.
