2/5

Love her or hate her, Beth Orton seems to have been hovering around mostly inoffensively for years. Despite the odd Mercury nomination here and there, she bubbles under the surface without really venturing anywhere you'd not expect...
And, lo and behold, that's exactly what the Jim O'Rourke-produced 'Shopping Trolley' does, too. It boasts a somewhat bigger sound than previous releases, maintains the trademark acoustic strum and adds some huge Spector-esque drums to that wonky, warbling wail. However, the melody itself merely meanders, and whilst one expects some memorable chorus, it never appears. One for the converted, then.
