LIST PICK

LAVA LA RUE ANGEL (FEAT. DEB NEVER)

Lava la Rue blew us away with their Vegyn-produced single 'G.O.Y.D' back in September, which arrived in support of For Our Sibs - "a Black Trans exclusive collective providing sustainable aid for Black Trans, Non-Binary, Gender, Non-Conforming and Intersex folks". Yesterday la Rue returned with news of a new EP and the frankly incredible 'Angel' featuring BROCKHAMPTON collaborator Deb Never. Soaked in sunny psychedelia, 'Angel' is la Rue most overt pop tune to date, and we're here for it. Produced by Foster The People's Isom Inis, euphoric synths glide over compressed beats and funky bass guitar as La Rue's effortless flow and ear for melody shines through. Arriving alongside a wonderfully surreal, Western-inspired Greedy Goons-directed video, Lava la Rue has mastered their art and aesthetic on 'Angel'. Lava la Rue's forthcoming EP Butter-Fly will arrive via Marathon Artists in January. -Holly Mullineaux
