Estonia's Ingrid Lukas is streaming her new record We Are on Best Fit ahead of its release later this week.
The Tallinn-born composer/singer fuses forward-thinking electronic elements with neo-classicism and Regilaul motifs. The new record is familiar in many ways, with nods to Björk and Fever Ray, but utterly otherworldly in others - We Are is an immersive, ambitious, devastatingly effective project full of glorious noises. The skewed alt. pop of "Unicorn" is particularly mesmerising.
We Are is out 24 June via Ronin Rhythm.
