Elliphant has revealed two sparkly new tracks: "Step Down" and "North Star (Bloody Christmas)".
"Step Down" links up with "Love Me Badder" and "Club Now Skunk" in previewing Elliphant's new album Living Life Golden.
It's a pulsing pop gem, if slightly subdued compared to the rest of her 2015 output, that gradually builds to a euphoric rabble rouser.
"North Star (Blood Christmas)" is a sombre piano ballad - a pensive take on festive excess - with spine-tingling scorn: "Bloody Christmas, fucking Christmas..."
Living Life Golden is out via Kemosabe/TEN on 25 March 2016.
