(FLG)On their first LP in almost a decade, made as two members were treated for cancer, the rockers shrug off their 90s heyday with an experimental mindsetAlmost 30 years after Weak gave the London band a global smash, Skunk Anansie’s “painful truth” is facing up to middle age, parenthood, the loss of a longstanding manager, fears that their best days were behind them and two members being diagnosed with cancer.

The vocalist subsequently addresses challenges ranging from the hedonistic rock lifestyle to her own family history.Musically, producer David Sitek of TV on the Radio has urged them to throw off the ...
