FKA TWIGS
lp1
Young Turks
spacious & floaty yet dense & claustrophobic, futuristic yet looking back to the 90s, icy cool yet inviting & enveloping, 'lp1' is the culmination of everything we have come to know & love about the enigmatic artist.
featuring none of the tracks previously released on her brilliant EPs that kick-started the massive word-of-mouth hype, these songs draw heavily on janet jackson-esque r&b, strip it all right back, inject loads of breathing space, chop it up with minimal beats & create a highly atmospheric set of soundscapes that need to be listened to as a whole album to fully appreciate the impact. pristine alt r&b for fans of how to dress well, jessie ware, the xx or the most minimal of bat for lashes' songs. "spellbinding & artful from the off, she manages to tap into something in her mid-20s that not many people manage in a lifetime" 9/10 - loud & quiet, a substantial debut" 4/5 - mojo.
