Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt spent the better part of four decades resisting nostalgia, each building compelling solo careers while the Everything But The Girl catalog quietly grew into a touchstone for everyone from trip-hop producers to bedroom pop artists. Their 1990s pivot toward electronics, crystallized on albums like "Walking Wounded," influenced a generation of artists who never knew the duo's earlier acoustic work. "Fuse" arrives not as a comeback but as a continuation, proof that their particular chemistry never actually dissolved.
Everything but the Girl return in 2023 with the new album Fuse, after a 24-year hiatus. Written and produced by Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn over the spring-summer of 2021, Fuse is a modern take on the lustrous electronic soul the band first pioneered in the mid-90s. Thorn's affecting and richly textured voice is once again up front in Watt's glimmering landscape of sub-bass, sharp beats, half-lit synths and empty space, and as before, the result is the sound of a band comfortable with being both sonically contemporary, yet agelessly themselves.
