Released in October and quite unlike any other LP of the last 12 months or far longer than that, this highly experimental work by the Huddersfield-raised, London-based artist is avant-garde electronica splattered with wittily odd disembodied vocals resulting in psychedelic states of poetic “transient psychosis”. It’s a musically abstract representation of internal thoughts, quizzical remarks, screams, crashes, tones, and buzzes, her voice sometimes clear, at others distorted and gravelly, with lines such as “Red shoes or blue shoes! Red shoes or blue shoes!” or “Last year I came round from a hole/With a broken thumb/And a note on my phone/Four words”, the referential and wonderfully rhyming “I’m shaking my body side to side some rhythm gone amiss/Gantano’s reviewing Billie Eilish.”or the more directly amusingly self-loathing “Oh the stubble/Oh begone/You unholy cunt,” on OoB Prosthesis, one of the picks, as well as Somewhere between the 8th and 9th floor, Emley lights us moor (featuring Iceboy Violet) and Tailwind. Out on Hyberdub Records. Available also with a book of lyrics, poems and photographs, via Bandcamp - see embedded link below.
