A quick glance at perfectly coiffed Parisienne Alma Elste and you’d never know that some of her favourite past-times include playing R-rated videogames, slugging on cheap beer and indulging in a spot of casual larceny. Appearances are deceiving. She ticks every one of them off the list on new track ‘Virtualism’.
Alma’s response to ‘hyperreality’, ‘Virtualism’ washes over you with the same sense of measured, gothy malaise that Lana Del Rey pours on so thickly and so well; her smoky coo lifted to a final crescendo by pirouetting synths, rolling toms and shuddering snares.
We’d like nothing more than to share a 40 with her while driving round Liberty City with this pumping from our lowrider stereo.
