Canadian record label King Deluxe had a good range of quality releases, however only with this delightful 12″ by Evy Jane the label eventually receives the attention they deserve. Evy Jane are from Vancouver and consist of Evelyn Mason and Jeremiah Klein. The self-titled vinyl single is their first release. King Deluxe lists ‘UK bass, gospel, and noise’ as influences and coins the term ‘hyper-textural pop’ which is quite appropriate in sum. Of course the music dwells on Masons’ beautiful vocals which in combination with the Dub- and Hip Hop-influenced beats bring forth a certain nineties vibe. Think of Laika, Beth Gibbons, or early Lamb. But the instrumentals lack any trace of warming retroism and put Evy Jane nowhere else than 2012. Bittersweet electronic music for the dark at heart.
