Globelamp – The Orange Glow

A gleeful, headlong adventure, Elizabeth Le Fey's debut finally receives a UK release. If Connan Mockasin taking a spanner to Kate Bush's The Kick Inside while Joanna Newsom sprinkles it with street-grade fairy dust seems like a good idea, then The Orange Glow is for you.

The ex-Foxygen singer – whose much-publicised departure from the band was just one of a series of recent trials that informs this startling debut – packs up her troubles and re-invents herself as a songwriter of vision and taste. The Orange Glow's spare production is a delight: psychedelic, baroque and intimate. The title track, a delicate fantasia built around Le Fey's multi-tracked vocals, piano and strings is an intoxicating highlight. 'He heard me crying, he saw me dying,' she sings on Don’t Go Walking in the Woods Alone at Night, but Le Fey's confessionals scream: survivor. Sisters (of the moon) are doing it for themselves.
