In her most recent work, the Philadelphia electronic producer Eev Frances turns synths and programmed beats into alternately hyperactive and serene music inspired by the Y2K-era IDM boom. Today she's following up last year's well-received Sometimes I Forget To Breathe (which was billed as an EP but felt like a full-length statement to me) with a new album called i will hold You in my heart until I can hol d you in heaven.
The eight-track collection starts out busily skittering like an army of robot spiders, but by the last couple tracks, Frances has shifted into ambient mode with equally satisfying results. It's sometimes tough to identify the emotional roots of instrumental music like this, but the title alludes to grief, so let that color your experience as you dive into the album below.
i will hold You in my heart until I can hol d you in heaven is out now. Buy it here.
