There has always been something wonderfully intriguing about Kelly Lee Owens. She moves in sonically intriguing circles too, contributing her writing and vocal skills to Daniel Avery's Drone Logic, and reworking Jenny Hval's 'Kingsize', which was awarded Best New Music on Pitchfork. The path to her solo career has been perfectly paved, and now the London-based producer and songwriter has self-released the first taste of her forthcoming debut album. '1 of 3' is a hypnotic, quietly epic outing that shows-off Owens' breadth of talent across producing, writing and recording. She marries her stunning Björk-leaning vocal to the pulsating, wobbling electronics and increasingly driving bass that provides the powerful bed for the action. It's a dark and thought-provoking cut from the exciting newcomer that paves the way towards the very bright and eclectic alternative future she deserves. - G.O'B.
