Throwing Shade

Those basking in the Shade will have first heard ‘hashtag IRL’ last year.

The minimalist banger opens her first EP for Ninja Tune with spotless drum programming and sensual synths; its hints of PC Music are in sharp contrast to the rest of ‘House Of Silk’ – which is indebted to Krautrock, psychedelia and deep house – but she’s embedded within that set as a longtime collaborator of Sophie, AG Cook and Felicita, and this pushes the new-school of URL pop further forward.
