Harvest Sun Presents - The High Llamas
Stunning avant-pop-soul-R&B mash-up, both modern and eternal. Hey Panda isn't so much a left-turn as an intensification of the High Llamas's core pop-ness, updated in thoroughly contemporary ways… It slips alongside the likes of Noname or SZA, supported by the everyday surrealism of O'Hagan's writing, with guest spots from Bonnie 'Prince' Billy and Rae Morris. Beautifully now.
