Monkoora previews her forthcoming EP with electronic gems "Bocx Wurld" and "Repelling Radio"

The recording name of musician and artist Julie Crawford, Monkoora has quickly followed up her 2016 mini-album Pale Slopes with an EP, Nuclear BB which is due out 21 April.

The first track, "Bocx Wurld" is a chaotic and playful collision of programmed beats and bright synths, brought down to earth by Crawford's frustrated-at-society vocal. As she sings about a "nonsenscial, fucked-up world where everything's put in the wrong places" there's a growing feeling that Monkoora feels out of step with the world around her...and, really, who can blame her.

"Repelling Radio" is the downbeat calm after the storm. There's a warm electronic buzz complemented by major piano chords, and Crawford shows off a beguiling croon while singing sensual and eerily comforting lines such as "feed me toasted marshmallows and put me to sleep". It's a tense, yet ultimately the most moving, moment on what's a fascinating EP.
