Fact #151789

If you long to hear a beautiful, assured female voice singing wonderful self-composed songs, you should check out this stunning debut album. Details about Eiks are currently scant but she is, I’m given to understand, a young woman who grew up in Jordan and Japan but currently lives in London. Her inspirations, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Nick Drake, are both easy to hear in the delicacy and careful structure of her music, where every second seems considered and every word chosen with care. When a hint of understated percussion emerges in the title track, the effect is startling, but perfect. Nothing here will ever dent the singles chart but it could dent your heart.
