Having recently found a home with American indie label Saddle Creek (Hand Habits, Big Thief, Sam Evian etc.), Montreal-based artist and musician Alexandra Levy aka Ada Lea is preparing for the release of her debut album What We Say In Private. Its second single 'mercury' covers a hell of a lot of ground over its substantial, almost-5-minute duration. Opening with a ravey synth siren and a pummelling, motorik drum beat, angular guitars punctuate the track as Levy's laid back focus drift through the verse. Falling away to a sludgy, stripped back break down, the whole process repeats itself before the track veers off into a surprisingly math-rocky climax. What We Say In Private will arrive on the 19th of July. -Holly Mullineaux
