![]() There is more story to this than Let Them Eat Chaos, with characters and often complex storylines. This album features characters that turn up in her novel The Bricks That Built the Houses (read in hardback and listened to the audiobook) with some subtle changes. I listen to this first then Let Them Eat Chaos, usually more than once. ![]() Like Tempest’s other album, Let Them Eat Chaos, I’ve listened to Everybody Down at least a dozen times. (Big Dada,, 48 minutes 29 seconds, audiobook, Amazon Prime Music) ![]() ![]() Tempest takes the tropes of the hip hop story – drugs, money, gangsters – and brings them to life in a whole new way, a London way, but also a completely personal way, where she inhabits the different characters and shows the boredom and fear in their lives rather than some faked glamour, shows more than anything their need for love.Ĭarey, meanwhile, sculpts soundscapes that pay tribute to the roots of hip hop while melding into the themes Tempest addresses, tough and gritty but intensely musical, the sound of a wet winter’s night out in London. In a burst of intense creativity, they put down the whole twelve track album in a fortnight having spent almost a year developing the characters and story. ![]() Everybody Down is Kate’s debut solo album, recorded with long-term collaborator and producer Dan Carey. ![]()
