Citoyen Jensen I Love Avalon Emersons' stuff. Its like ravy and electronic but with a distinkt non-Krafwerk pop rock sound. Maybee the first interesting electronic act to come out of America since Detroit techno.

Anuraag Avalon Emerson's tracks all feel so unique in current electronic music discourse but all with commonalities that feel distinctly of her touch that I can never put my finger on. This record is no exception, with every track having the capability to create really big moments on the floor. Or just lie down in your bedroom, listen, and marvel at her craft

about

Avalon Emerson’s latest EP, Narcissus In Retrograde, explores four different styles that shape her distinct voice as a producer and songwriter, from symphonic showstoppers to broken acid. Opener "Natural Impasse" ferries massive melodic themes through a network of emotive capillaries that’s underpinned by charging drums, while "Dystopian Daddy" dons a theatrical flare with costume-changing arpeggiators and digital brass beef that command attention like a stage-hogging space alien diva lip-syncing for new wig money. The B-side takes a more menacing turn with "Why Does It Hurt", the outright techno achievement of the record, and the snarling closer "Groundwater." Ethereal vocals on the former punctuate kicks and growls that sound like they were pulled from a pedal monster’s electric guitar, and on "Groundwater," a crucible of fucked breaks and acid cut a ravine through a bed of off-staccato hats and a sample swamp.
