The buzz surrounding Elizabeth Le Fey, the songwriter behind Globelamp, may have less to do with her music and more to do with another buzzband. Le Fey spent a tumultuous period as a touring member of Foxygen, as well as founding member, Sam France’s girlfriend. In spite of all the drama, and the eventual break from France, Le Fey never lost sight of her own artistic aims. The two even worked together to put the songs of Globelamp into an experimental EP, made entirely on a 8-track. She calls it an experiementation, and that spirit is what makes it magical. Truly lo-fi, her folk psychedelia is on full display, conjuring images of 60s mysticism, seances and free love. Throughout the recordings her voice is mostly layered and hidden, but having had the pleasure of seeing her perform live proved she has the vocal prowess of one well beyond her youth. She fits so many ideas into each song, shaping her voice to each moment. Le Fey is offering a feast for the ears that will leave you stuffed, yet never tiring for seconds. And I get the sense that she is a wellspring ready to burst. Stream her entire EP, ‘Star Dust’ on bandcamp, featuring standouts, "Daddy’s Gone" and "Witch House." – Jacqueline Caruso
