You could be forgiven, after an initial glance of the artwork and name, for thinking that WHITE TØMBS debut EP ‘Yukiko In The Forest’ was a new addition to the witch-house canon. I was happy to discover that it is instead, an expansive and beautifully executed piece of bedroom produced pop.
Bones is compelling and utterly glorious – with its twinkling production, a melancholy voice that hovers close enough to the sun to get burnt, before gracefully falling down to the river below.
