Cold Specks, aka Ladan Hussein, returned with a new album, Neuroplasticity, in 2014. Voted one of Wall Street Journal and Los Angeles Times’ albums of the year, the album was described by the Daily Mirror as “The sound of a singular talent magnificently and defiantly coming into her own” while the Evening Standard described it as a “… brooding, beautiful second album” and Uncut wrote that it has“…”the kind of fever pitch of confrontational intensity which bears comparison with Nick Cave & PJ Harvey, combined with the tribal kick of 80’s Kate Bush”.
