Remove ads
The Book of Traps and Lessons is the third studio album by English poet and spoken word artist Kae Tempest, the follow-up to Let Them Eat Chaos. According to NME's El Hunt: "The figures closest to this record’s protagonist constantly take the form of gnarled trees: fingers become delicate twiglets, and naked toes set down roots. And togetherness is the force that continually grounds ‘The Book of Traps and Lessons’ despite the dystopian soldiers that march across its drenched landscape."[1] The spoken word lyrics contain a mix of hope and love, mirrored against the difficulties in today's society.
