'Even Sleepers' opens with a lovely accordion and strummed guitar tune
called 'Valentine'. Leah's gorgeous vocals float along on the sparse backing,
and will bring a smile to the face of anyone who enjoyed Amelie.

The rest of the album follows the bare, organic flavour of the opener, and the
wonky jazz of 'The Red Eye', with its pots & pans percussion and eccentric guitar backing particularly stands out. The whole album is pleasingly lacking in the sickly sheen that is often applied to voices of Leah's calibre, locking the sombre feel and emotion into the songs, and placing her head and shoulders above most of her contemporaries.
