Fifteen-year-old Lupa knows a thing or two about fusing organic sounds with tender electronica.
The Sydney-based artist (real name Imogen Jones) cites Daughter and Grimes amongst her influences, and that folk-meets-electronic touch is certainly present in new song, ‘The Creature’. Crystalline vocals and plucked violins drip-feed into snapped beats, reaching an enchanting climax just shy of the four minute mark. What lies at the heart of the track is its clever simplicity – descending scales looping with repetitive beats – thanks in part to Miss Jones’ classical music background. Trained musicians will be the first to tell you less is more.
Aussies triple j love her, and we might just a bit too.
