Cover art for The State We're In lyrics by Chemical Brothers, The

The whoa! of this song (in my opinion) is provided by British chanteusse Beth Orton. Beth is a frequent Chemical Brothers collaborator, providing vocals for "Alive Alone" and "Where Do I Begin" on previous albums. If you like this I'd recommend her solo material - it has more of an acoustic/folky sound to it, but combined with stripped-down electronic beats. Anyways brilliant song, a great merger of Orton's voice and the Chemical Brothers beats.
