I absolutely adore Låpsleyand the English musician’s soulful brand of alt R&B and electronic art pop. Her debut full length Long Way Home dropped in 2016; we haven’t heard much from her since. I’ve oft wondered whether she was working on new material, and tried to keep a lookout for any news from her, yet somehow I managed to miss out on her glorious return until just a few days ago despite My Love Was Like The Rain arriving a couple weeks ago. Without further ado, let’s take in the magnificent beauty of the shadowy, graceful reflection that is her long awaited new single. There’s no mistaking this song for anything but Låpsley, from her rich sonorous voice to the song’s fluid, spacious electronic production. The music video for My Love Was Like The Rain also entrances with its nod to old school rave aesthetics, as well as road scenes that remind me of Radiohead’s Karma Police and underwater pool shots that remind me of Nirvana’s renowned Nevermind cover art. My Love Was Like The Rain is a glimmering light in the dark, a shadowplay of a delicately entrancing song. And it’s a superb return from an artist we’ve been missing dearly. It’s taken from a forthcoming EP entitled These Elements, out November 22nd. Pre-save/pre-order, here.

It’s near impossible not to melt to Ásgeir. The Icelandic musician’s smooth voice is like a serene lake on a snowy winter day, and his sentimentally stirring folktronica songs never fail to tug gently on our heart strings. It’s been awhile since we’ve heard from Ásgeir Trausti, but he’s back and in fine form on gorgeous Youth, our first preview off a forthcoming album due out next year on One Little Indian. Ásgeir, who had the biggest selling debut album by a home grown artist at just 20 years old and the winner of 4 Icelandic Music Awards (as well as a prestigious Nordic Music Prize nomination) takes my breath away with this cinematic sprawling, misty pining new song. Stream/download Youth, here. A tour next year brings him back to San Francisco with a headlining show at the Great American Music Hall on March 9th!
