Building on her love for trip-hop and as a reaction to her disappointment that - aside from legends like Massive Attack, Lamb and Portishead - there just isn’t enough top quality trip-hop music out there, musician and producer Ingri Høyland Kvamstad contributes her own calculated, compelling and characteristically melancholic effort. Having already debuted as Hôy la with the dark and meditative ‘Resist’, the Copenhagen-based Norwegian artist now shares her second track ‘Please’. With a brooding, theatrical piano and minimalist beatwork that forms the essential trip-hop sound, Kvamstad’s apathetic tone swims over the subtle static, dramatic pauses and experimental composition. ‘Please’ is another irresistible track from this promising artist/producer, and we’re eager for more. - HT
