Describing their sound as 'dreamfolk,' a cinematic fusion of both folk and electronica, the four piece band mix a unique hybrid of strings and instrumentation with heart-melting harmonies and contemporary electronic and bass influenced sounds. Drawing on influences like The XX, Little Dragon, SBTRKT, Bon Iver and Youth Lagoon, the band easily stand out from the current female-vocal-led alternative/electronic scene. 'Hypolight' continues where their gripping debut effort - 'Life Size Ghosts' began, full of dreamy and emotive electronic landscapes, yet reveals the sound of a band truly coming into their own. A confident and promising step forward - 'Hypolight' is sonically beautiful and illuminates the London newcomer's ability to match an astute grasp of aesthetics with a deep sense of emotion.

Lead vocalist and lyricist Kate Sproule's breathtaking voice, which has already been compared to the likes of Bjork, Elizabeth Fraser and Florence Welch (Florence and The Machine) evokes a sense of paralyzing beauty on the single, dramatically building amongst producer Sebastian Fox's sparse cinematic electronic tapestry. Stevie McMinn's acoustic guitar composition, creates the emotional backbone of the track while, Alex Mitchell's percussion touches add a greater depth that leave a tantalizing taste of what's to come for the rest of the EP.
Be sure to also check out the remix of "Hypolight" by London based producer/DJ, Pále.
