Ohhh, yeah. This lovely young lady put out a gem 2 years ago, called 'Phylactory Factory,' with quirky, jazzy little singer-songwriter numbers best suited for carefree spring afternoons.

Improbably, she's come back with a beat-driven stunner that's perfectly timed to fill in the newfound void of xx-like, minimalist cool. This one's more synth-y than The xx, and she’s retained the expressiveness of her prior vocal work, but the form and feel are very similar. For me, it’s a winning formula: icy, bass heavy, hip-hop inspired electronic beats, with dreamy, echoing female vox on top. Yes, please.

Definitely cold weather music, but with the sun making a sudden entrance here in DC, it’ll work almost as well lying on a blanket in the shade.
