The precise, focused arrangements and songs that Insides provided on their full-length debut in 1993 were almost entirely out of sync with the UK music scene that surrounded the duo, whether incipient Britpop on the one hand or new American styles on the other, making its minimal, almost haunted version of an electronic/guitar fusion all the more remarkable. Kirsty Yates’s soft voice seems to both sing and speak at the same time, detailing internal contemplations and observations of the human animal with calm cool.
