PICK OF THE MONTH
LÅPSLEY
Through Water
It’s a great thing to find an album that you would happily play over and over, taking on fresh meaning with each listen. Through Water, the latest album from Låpsley, aka Holly Låpsley Fletcher, is true to her classically inspired electronic sound and had us hooked from the opening lyrics of the lead single and mantra for female self-confidence, Womxn. “To be through water is to be suspended in time, ebbing and flowing between mistakes and lessons learned, dark places and lighter spaces that I’ve meandered through and continue to navigate,” she explains. From the album artwork to the video direction, all elements come together beautifully on this understated follow-up album, which should not go unheard.
