Together, Sarah Moule, Simon Wallace and Fran Landesman made a perfect trio of talents – and still do, even though Fran died three years ago. Wallace’s music exactly echoes her unsettling but deceptively simple lyrics, and Moule’s cool voice brings them both to elegant life. Among the seven Landesman songs here I particularly liked Scars and Did I Break Your Heart? There’s also Lots of People Do, with a lyric that sounds remarkably like Fran but turns out to be by Julie Burchill, together with several intriguingly recast standards. Wallace’s arrangements are immaculate.
