Holy Boy stuns with haunting portrait of Los Angeles "Elegy"

The circling backdrop of organs found on "Elegy" is a distinctive feature of Jæger's music, but here there's a distance not found on previous releases. Last year's eponymous EP featured heavy, ritualistic percussion – notably absent from this new track.

Inspired by nights spent in the sprawl of the city, "Elegy" draws on a broad palette of sonic influences to conjure its dystopian imagery. Citing the industrial drone of Suicide, alongside 60s pop and classic West Coast hip-hop as formative influences, Jæger describes her songwriting as "explorations in consciousness". The resulting sound is at once eclectic and utterly immersive; smoky and classic, yet simultaneously futuristic.
