Hey folks,
Hope you're doing okay. @kleptones here, back from the crazy world of Le Guess Who? with many a new tale to tell and earworm to share - very pleased that the wintery weather held off for the duration of the festival, but it's hit with full force on our returm, as temperatures and leaves drop and the mighty sog returns. Hype cat is decidedly unimpressed by the changing of the seasons as always, but the addition of another blanket to his growing slumber pile is keeping him sleepily cheerful. For now, anyways.
"I came across this artist when my partner read a recent rave review and said "this sounds like the sort of weird shit you'd like". I gave it a try and damn it turns out he was right.
Apparently this album represents a more pop direction for the artist. I'd say it's pretty far out pop but maybe in the sense of say, St Vincent, rather than Ms Swift.
There's melodies that kind of explode and dissipate, trancey builds and massive drums all going on in an ecstatic tsunami. Floating over it all are wondrous, witchy vocals.
Listen out for two guests vocalists, one of whom is unmistakable, the other was new to me - although their 1M Instagram followers would suggest I'm late to the party on that one. Above all listen out for the stunning range of instruments which add so much texture.
It runs a little over the usual hour, but the variety of moods kept me fully immersed so I hope you'll indulge me.
