Beth Orton

Daybreaker

British European 180 Gram Vinyl with Download 'Daybreaker' is the third album by singersongwriter Beth Orton released in 2002 on Heavenly Records 'Daybreaker' is the ultimate 4 am soundtrack It certainly wasn't intentional Orton has never been best pleased with the 'Come Down Queen' tag she acquired thanks to the hazy folk and bleery electronica of her 1996 debut 'Trailer Park' and her association with dance luminaries such as the Chemical Brothers and Andrew Weatherall Hence her third studio album steers a path to more traditional singer songwriter territory Yet topped with Orton's drunken croon unintelligible blissfully lazy and bittersweet the unhurried country strummings of 'Carmella' 'God Song' and 'Ted's Waltz' are still prime twilight listening Add the moodier downtempo moments 'Paris Train's haunting orchestrals 'Mount Washington's ambient bleeps and the dank beats of the Chemical Brothers produced title track and it's hard to see 'Daybreaker' doing anything other than reaffirming her 'Come Down Queen' credentials
