It's been a few years since we first wrote about Surrey sing-songer Sasha Gurney and her 'Bloodlines' EP, and she's been regularly putting out music since, to an unsurprisingly broadening audience. Her latest song is 'Ouch!' and it's far from painful to listen to - quite the opposite actually.
Gurney's vocals are as tender as they were on her earliest releases but the production has taken a notably more ambitious step. Hyperactive electronic instrumentation is interspersed pleasantly by moments that allow the vocals to breathe - indeed, it's those moments on 'Ouch!' that we most enjoy. In conjunction with the brill yet all-too-brief recent single 'Not Your Problem', we're seeing shades of Maggie Rogers in the latest Sasha material - inventive and alluring, it's not bad company to find yourself in.
