LIST PICK

SERPENTWITHFEET FOUR ETHERS

Possibly one of the most original tracks we've heard of late, serpentwithfeet's single 'Four Ethers' is a whirlwind of impeccable drama, uncomfortable confessions and undeniable artistry. An unexpected mix of classical composition and dark production, helped along by collaborator The Haxan Cloak, the Brooklyn singer is the world's newest diva. Nailing the heartfelt delivery and big moments, there is something Shirley Bassey about it, although given a thoroughly modern makeover. Although the lyrics make for uncomfortable listening, there is nothing hard about hearing the brass, strings and pounding drum combination. Giving Anohni a run for her money, serpentwithfeet is simply stunning. - SJ
