I've just noticed that we haven't covered Ecca Vandal yet, so I'm excited to change that now. Hailing from Melbourne, Ecca Vandal is easily one of the most promising female artists to emerge from Australia throughout 2015.
An incredibly diverse artist blending electronic, pop and hip hop, "End of Time" is only her third single -- and each one is remarkably different from the last. "Father Hu$$la" had a jarring feel that almost entered Die Antwoord territory, while "White Flag" bathed in a fuzzy punk intensity.
"End of Time" slows it down and pushes back the curtains, revealing a honeyed melody and a smoother flow. Coupled with glitchy rhythms and increasingly frantic synths, the track grows more powerful, and more intricate as it progresses.
I'm really intrigued by Ecca Vandal, and I'm looking forward to hearing more from the young artist.
Aussies can catch her on tour next month, or opening for Young Fathers on their tour in Jan 2016.
