(sequência daqui) "A ética DIY serviu para contornar uma indústria musical muito conservadora nos anos 90. Postcard Records, Fast Records, Factory Records (e, claro, Chemikal Underground) todas foram importantes enquanto protesto contra uma indústria musical realmente comercial. Contudo, se actualmente, há mais música do que nunca, daí resultou haver menos público para cada um desses artistas". Gravado ao longo de cinco anos num contexto de turbulência pessoal e luto familiar, Begging The Night To Take Hold acolhe uma aguda sensibilidade para a pop de càmara - os belíssimos arranjos para piano, violoncelo, baixo e discreta percussão de Pete Harvey (Modern Studies) e Graeme Smillie - tomada como cenário para reflexões ("Rogues and thieves, you know they masquerade as new ideas, and as the thunder peals the damage done becomes revealed") íntimas, voláteis e fugazes.

This was how I broke the best
Indifference, overblown with confidence and ignorance
It all made sense
And then I watched them take the test
I believe it’s better to inflict than to attempt relief
You ask me what you need
Hate is all you need
Hate is all around find it in your heart in every waking sound
On your way to school, work or church you’ll find that it’s the
only rule
Build a different world, hate will help you find what you’ve
been looking for
Hate is everywhere, inside your mother’s heart and you will find
it there
You ask me what you need
Hate is all you need
This was how I won the west
Charity, a joke that friendly cities think that we believe
Or so it seems
We kicked and punched and stabbed to death
And everyone applauded my fine actions I was overcome
You ask me what I’ve seen
Hate is all I’ve seen
Hate is in the air
Come on people feel it like you just don’t care
Everlasting hate feel it in the people where it’s warm and great
