Everything But The Girl - Walking Wounded Vinyl LP

Walking Wounded – First released in April 1996 by UK alt-pop duo Everything But the Girl (Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt), Walking Wounded debuted at No. 4 on the UK Album Chart and features four UK Top 40 singles, including the Top 10 hits “Walking Wounded” and “Wrong.” The album set a new benchmark for blending contemporary electronic music with intelligent pop songwriting.

Programmed and produced by Watt in 1995, much of the work took place in the basement of the duo’s North London home demo studio. “Just an Akai sampler, a computer, a synth and guitar, an inexpensive vocal mic, and an 8-track tape machine,” Watt recalls. Thorn adds, “We were writing in reverse – mood first, then songs, learning as we went. It just felt like a new frontier.”
