Channeling the icy winds of the North comes wintry Newcastle newcomer Keiandra with new single ‘Icing Sugar’. A hauntingly barren track from her aptly named debut EP Empty Palaces, it's a stark soundtrack to stretches of solitude. Shimmering with delicate guitar distortion and layered vocals, the young songstress is on par with peers Daughter and Marika Hackman within the thriving ambient folk scene. Uplifting as it is pensive, Keiandra's quirky, metaphor-laden lyrics add a warming touch to the track. Dreamy and insular, this is music for stormy days. - SJ
