LIST PICK

EVA OSIRIS GREY-BLUE

The latest offering from Eva Osiris is the restrained, laid-back ‘Grey-Blue’. Her unique voice leads the tune forward, with addictive melodies flowing out over a minimalist accompaniment. The repeating keyboard chords and gentle strings remain at the exact same intensity throughout, which creates a haunting yet strangely beautiful similarity that persists from beginning to end. Abandoning a drum kit for nothing more than finger clicks was a bold move, but the decision worked wonders in creating a hollow atmosphere full of space and vulnerability. The tune isn’t without its detail though, with quiet Bon Iver-esque backing vocals spinning around the stereo field. Make sure to be on the lookout for new tracks from this upcoming singer-songwriter. - Dan Peeke
