Hercules And Love Affair's self-titled debut album featured singers Nomi Ruiz and Kim Ann Foxman. In 2011, the follow-up, 'Blue Songs', saw Kim Ann Foxman return, appearing alongside Aerea Negrot, who sang on 'Painted Eyes', Shaun Wright ('My House') and Kele Okereke from Bloc Party ('Step Up'). All according to plan, but, to casual observers, it's sometimes given the impression that Hercules And Love Affair are fractured. Nothing could be further from the truth: it's how it's meant to be, it's their strength.
