The umpteenth release by the Pink Dots sees a reformed quartet of Edward Ka-Spel, Silverman, Martijn De Kleer and Niels Van Hoorn in very familiar form. From the personnel, to the cover art, to the suite of cryptic, understated songs, Plutonium Blonde is very much in the same vein as 2006's Your Children Will Placate You From Premature Graves. Depending on your point of view, this is either good news, or a bitter disappointment. To be finished.
