The EP includes remixes, by Seb Rochford of Polar Bear, of some of Gwyneth Herbert's previously published songs as well as the song "Perfect Fit" which had been issued as a free download in October 2009[3] and was released as a single on 7 March 2011.[1]

Reception

In a four-starred review for The Guardian, jazz critic John Fordham described it as a "fascinating set of variations on the familiar for Herbert regulars, or an appealing introduction for jazz-averse newcomers", saying that although her songs had been radically transformed, "Herbert's unfussy soulfulness and personal vision always glow through".[1]

John Eyles, in a review for BBC Music, described the "fragility of Herbert's performance" on the closing track, an a cappella version of "Midnight Oil", as "beautiful".[4]

Ivan Hewett, writing for The Daily Telegraph, said that the song "Perfect Fit" "has such a guilessly catchy melody you can't help being charmed by it."[2]
