This sophomore effort from British outfit Stateless sees the band move from the DJ Shadow-influenced approach of their debut to a more glitch-based electronic sound.

'Matilda' is the second album from British outfit, Stateless. Produced by Damian Taylor (Bjork, The Prodigy) it sees the band move from the DJ Shadow-influenced approach of their debut to a more glitch-based electronic sound. From the cinematic opener "Curtain Call" to the Eastern European influenced closer "I Shall Not Complain", 'Matilda' is a true mix of styles all brought together by Chris James' soulful vocals.

"Musically they've taken an evolutionary leap, recent single 'Ariel' suggesting Dirty Projectors reworked as heavyweight dubstep."
-Q

"The weeping strings of the Balanescu Quartet add a dash of Balkan melodrama to the four numbers..."
-UNCUT
