Walking Wounded

Walking Wounded, released in 1996 by Everything but the Girl, marks the duo's move toward electronic production, blending synth-pop textures with trip hop and drum and bass influenced rhythms. Tracey Thorn's intimate, understated vocals sit over Ben Watt's atmospheric programming and electronic arrangements, producing songs that balance personal lyricism with club-friendly beats. The record represents a clear shift from the pair's earlier acoustic and jazz-tinged work toward a more electronic, contemporary sound.
