Happy New Year #2 - Gold Medallion

www.happynewyearmusic.com/ / happynewyear.bandcamp.com/

Eleanor Logan returns with her second Happy New Year release next month, "Gold Medallion" b/w "And... Begin!" is released August 3rd via Crikey! Records (limited to 500, pre-orders with hand-written lyrics - buy here).

Following where her last release"Twins / Hotel" left off, "Gold Medallion's" sound is enormous for what is basically a solo project (although she is accompanied by some musicians for live performances). Propulsive programming, clattering percussion, atmospheric drones and Eleanor's silky soft vocal. Utterly transfixing.

Listen below:

I mentioned her debut release here, the tracks are below in case you missed them the first time around, fans of fuzzed-up, experimental noise-pop would be silly to ignore:

Eleanor is back in the UK in October, something to look out for then. This looks a bit good, yeah?
