Couldn't remember for the life of me what this was in my Bandcamp list or where I had found it...hit play and thought hmmmmm sounds like a Hype Williams thing. And yessir - a solo release from 1/2 of that duo (I shouldn't say that, as Hype Williams continues on without them) Inga Copeland, apparently not her first release as Lolina. Hype Williams, Dean Blunt and Copeland have always kind of baffled me, I've been peripherally interested them but I can't say I've loved any of their releases either individually or as a duo, mostly just curios. But I have to say this one really gripped me, I don't know how often I'll be revisiting it...it's certainly a challenging listen. As awful as the term "avant pop" is this is a really pure example of avant garde pop music. Song forms are completely destructed and rebuilt in disorienting and fascinating ways with Copeland's vocals are the forefront of all. Exciting, I'm on board.
