Mmmmm... new raw noir pop music from Bay Area's Metal Mother. Hailing from the depths of Oakland, the project's mastermind, Taara Tati, unveils a new track "Prism" from her upcoming sophomore album
Ionika... and it's golden.
While sounding similar to Grimes, Crystal Castles, and Fever Ray, Metal Mother has their own unique sound that is much appreciated. "Prism" resonates with a textured and solace sound that offers a visceral experience for the listener. With various drum arrangements and lofty vocals, the song categorizes much of the current noir pop scene.
Cutting this review to the chase,
Ionika is due on April 16, 2013 on the artist's own record label, Post Primal. Honestly, I've listened to this track so many times already this morning that I lost count.
