This second album by the Brooklyn-born multi-instrumentalist and singer Taja Cheek is an entrancing mix of keyboards, synths, and haunting vocals, a woozily wonderful and unique style of dream-like delicacy. With its ranging arpeggios and dynamic bass line and dynamic range of riffs, we previously highlighted her single Two Face on Song of the Day, and the rest of the album retains that promise, from the fractured sounds of city life on Fly, Die and other snippet tracks, to the gentle guitar and soulful vocals on Blame Me or the strangely skipping hazy rave of Kill Self to the languorous, hazy funk-jazz of Suck Teeth. There’s also a pleasing continuity to her titles, each of the 14 being two words each. An otherworldly delight of sonic flavours and dizzy emotions from a true original. Out on Mexican Summer.
