Album of the week

I Break Horses

**Chiaroscuro** (Bella Union)

.....

Fresh from supporting Sigur Ros on their last European tour, Sweden's I Break Horses deliver a synth-heavy second album that rewards repeated listening but could have done with a little more immediacy. The title, Chiaroscuro, an Italian word for the technique of using light and shade in pictorial representations, is something of a misnomer, because most of this album could be described as shades of grey.
