Karin Park has quite the backstory. Raised by hyper-religious parents and dragged around the world’s missionaries as a child, she became a bona fide popstar in Scandinavia – before being diagnosed with cancer. The diagnosis was, you’ll be pleased to hear, wrong, but the shock apparently caused her to reassess her work, abandon the world of pop, and instead begin making brooding, thick, introspective-but-danceable electronica.
The Tiger Dreams EP is her first UK release. The title track is a schizophrenic thing, veering between pseudo-dupstep, bassy verse and melodic, stadium pop chorus. Throughout, though, Park’s voice remains the most obvious calling card; beautifully pitched but fragile, full of emotion.
‘Tiger Dreams’ is out 19 September – but until that date you can grab the title track for free here.
