This new track, unveiled last week by London-based (via Berlin) JYLDA, floated through the speakers quite by chance - but a very welcome one.
Gianna Gehlhar is seemingly getting ready to release her debut EP, 'Twitch', co-produced with Beni Giles (Otzeki, James, Marcus Foster) in the not too distant future, with 'Torrential River' being its lead cut.
Ms Gehlhar's voice is seductive and commanding and her vocal dexterity reigns with ease over the quasi-industrial, electro sound of dark percussion, pulsating drums and striking synths.
The songstress describes 'Torrential River' as "a documentation of heartbreak and of unrequited love – which is always the death of a dream. It’s the fight against something that feels like failure but is out of your control. The lyrics play with this imbalance, but the music evolves into a new world, becoming more and more upbeat."
JYLDA will be playing a secret location warehouse party in East London on April 18, with another in Berlin on May 3. Find out more via Facebook here.
