Sometimes, something feels just right.
That’s the vibe that runs through Lava La Rue’s new EP. Part of the increasingly influential Nine8 collective – which she co-founded and also contained the likes of the much-hyped Biig Piig – ‘Butter-Fly’ is both an ode to queer love and a soothing balm to ‘these difficult times’. Deb Never team-up ‘Angel’ glimmers through a woozy mist, a highlight of a collection that often recalls Tame Impala’s psychedelic haze.
A stunning show of boundless potential, this Lava (oh no – Ed) is (don’t do it – Ed) scorching hot. (Really very sorry – Ed.)
