Beth Orton’s first single in six years seems unaffected by the passage of time, flowing seamlessly from her spacious, moody folk pop of yore; trickling, sometimes breezy, pinched and anguished in certain moments. The lyrics are dark, full of hard slogs and lies, and softly-crooned suspicion. The song comes from Sugaring Season, out October 5.
