Sometimes you approach an album by an artist that you respect and adore with a certain amount of trepidation and concern. Questions flutter round your brain like lost piano notes floating in the ether. Will it be as good as the last album? Have they lost their touch? What has influenced them this time? In the case of Ed Harcourt’s latest album Lustre these questions are answered and a few well worn reservations thrown out.
