Iconic Gossip front lady Beth Ditto further dips her toes in clubland with this solo EP on the recently resurrected Deconstruction imprint. Lining her distinct tones musically is some typically classy production work from Simian Mobile Disco, further cementing a relationship that began with Ditto's appearance on SMD's last LP. Lead track "Open Heart Surgery" is truly infectious thanks to the simple yet far too effective synth stabs that run throughout, whilst the more laid back "Goodnight Goodmorning" has warm up material written all over it. It's the flipside track "Do You Need Someone" which proves to be most satisfying thanks to the squelchy electro rhythms and subaqueous squiggles.
