Sykoya

Closer

Joel Frieders | May 11, 2016

I've been listening to this woman's new EP for the last two weeks, on near repeat. The delicate anger that's pouring out of Sykoya is addicting as fuck. 

Pulling from a calmer sort of Florence + The Machine meets Sarah McLachlan's Fumbling Towards Ecstacy album, Sykoya is beautifully creepy electro that feels half erotic, half suspicious. "Closer" is a perfect demonstration of the imagery I already had flowing around in my head and loins. It's cold, it's desolate, but it's somehow fucking gorgeous enough to keep playing over and over and over.

I love this shit more than I probably should.
