L.A. newcomer HANA is sharing her debut single, "Clay", and it signals boundless pop potential.
A close part of Grimes' cabal, HANA is set to tour with Claire Boucher and Lana Del Rey soon on their Endless Summer tour.
Another close friend of Grimes, producer Blood Diamonds, helped co-produce HANA's track. "Clay" is soaked in sparkling beats, infectious pop melodies and a glittering lacquer; it's aural ambrosia, but it'll make you feel like you've been dipped in liquid nitrogen and thrown at a wall.
She's got a few famous fans already, including Del Rey, Lorde, Baths and Ariel Rechtshaid.
Stream "Clay" below.
