Laurel Halo releases 12″ + announces “Hour Logic” EP, out in June

Under the name Laurel Halo, Ina Cube has achieved numerous well-received remixes for others, including How to Dress Well and Sébastien Tellier, presenting their music through her own hypercolored lens. But on her “King Felix” EP, the songs evoke the otherworldly beauty of the Cocteau Twins laid over dance beats with ethereal vocals. Cube’s classical music training is evident in the artful cascading melodies in her bustling electronic symphonies. Each of the synthpop tunes could be sectioned into movements, but the seamless transitions are what make the songwriting so awe-inspiring.  A follow-up EP entitled “Hour Logic” will drop on June 21. – Nancy Chow
