There was a time when bands like Lush, Ride and Pale Saints worked feedback into luscious channels, on which the voices of real grrrls and guys would float; clouds of sound and uncut fringes providing a Brechtian distancing effect from the fragility of feeling in their lyrics. Ex-pat Canadian, Jennie Vee, has given new life to the style with a near-perfect debut solo EP. Die Alone is a five-track download on Bandcamp, and we struggled to pick a single track to highlight. In the end, “Wicked” wins out, because it has a video that doubles as a travelogue of EC1 with a sleek, stylish soundtrack.
