L.A. Grimes-protégé HANA (AKA Hana Pestle) has revealed track number two, "Avalanche", following the swoontastic "Clay".
"Avalanche" is a bass-heavy synthpop tune, tempered by heavy emotions and barebones textures. It's similarly smooth-as-silk as her debut cut, and errs away from the warped pop experiments of Grimes and Blood Diamonds (the latter produced "Avalanche" - rather than emulating those she runs with, she's carving her own niche.
Listen to "Avalanche" below.
