Finally got around to Polachek's latest, and I fully understand the hype. She and Danny L Harle did an outstanding job on this.
Just a fascinating melding of sounds and influences -- the instrumental behind "Pretty In Possible" reminds me of super early Massive Attack/Enigma. "Crude Drawing of an Angel" is sparse yet meticulously textured, like a love letter to Peter Gabriel. The soaring synths of "Smoke" would be right at home in a Jamie xx DJ set. It's all over the place in the best possible way. And Polachek's vocals refuse to miss throughout.

Avant-pop? Righto. This is some good shit.
I came
Yep, checking this out at work this fine Friday morning while I review work and bill shit out. Good stuff - very interesting, engaging and enjoyable.
Seems I can do avant-pop no problems. Just keep that art rock/pop shit away from me.

To me "Crude Drawing of an Angel" is like a Sade song with this vaguely threatening aura to it, it's so good. The polyrhythms of "Sunset," the harmonies in "Hopedrunk Everlasting," everything about "Billions"... it's all so lush and thoughtfully crafted.

Did you listen to Pang yet? It's just as good.
Sade is a probably more accurate. I'm not super familiar with their (her?) stuff, aside from the odd track that I've seen recommended by fretless bass nerds.
I'll give Pang a spin once the new one has marinated a little.
