I know El Somnambulo doesn’t care for this band all that much, but this was the first thing I heard by them when it came out last year and I still really like it. I get the impression they’re some sort of indie darlings — the fact that leader Adrianne Lenker spent her childhood in a Christian cult gets a lot of attention. Whatever their story, I like this song’s combination of droning acoustic and pinprick electric guitars with some industrial fuzz, with Lenker’s ethereal vocals casting a spell that sounds like a cross between Björk and Frightened Rabbit.
