Baby Blood terrifies the dancefloor with the dark and brooding "White Lotus"

For her work as Baby Blood, Love has disappeared under a headdress/mask, immediately removing gendered identity assumptions from her music and by using a moniker which you can't attach a sex to, she's delving into the same (musical) territories as Kill J occupied when that particular Danish act exploded on to the scene.

Musically, Baby Blood pitches somewhere between The Knife and FKA Twigs; we've already heard the distorted vocals, blaring synths and slowly fracturing, echoing beats on debut single "Figurine" and this is taken to a whole other incredible level on "White Lotus".

From the spoken word sample at the start of the track, through the ticking hi-hat percussion and Love's pitch-bent R&B vocal which becomes hypnotically beautiful through repetition of the song title, this is weird and sexy 21st century dance music at its finest. Love says the track is about "the struggle of achieving a state of mental purification through the powers of nature, while existing in a highly intoxicated world"; there's little argument against such an arch explanation when the music is as heady as this.

Baby Blood will release the Await the Coven EP on 17 June through the Big Oil Recording Company; "White Lotus" is out 20 May and you can listen to the premiere below.
