Moving on from the preoccupations of Bill & Aidan's debut long-player, Everything's Getting Older, The Most Important Place In The World supplants the encroachment of age as a primary theme with the notion of the metropolis as femme fatale, a voluptuous siren promising opportunity and possibility: "Her doors are open, her legs are spread," in the words of the opening song, On The Motorway. The tension between domesticity and devilry, temperance and temptation, is a seam that runs through the record. As with its predecessor, this collection finds Aidan variously speaking, snarling and singing his candid tales along to jazz-inflected melodies so exquisite they barely belong to the gauche reality of the 21st century. While the palette utilised across these 12 extraordinary nocturnes bears a direct connection to that of Everything's Getting Older, Wells and Moffat here deploy a broader and deeper panoply of sounds, touching on electro-pop (The Eleven Year Glitch) as much as the tuxedo seductions of Bacharach and David (Any Other Mirror) and Caledonian gospel (Street Pastor Colloquy, 3am).
