Thanya Iyer: “slow burn”
Cinematic, symphonic balladry characterizes the lead track “slow burn” off Thanya Iyer’s LP rest. There is a delicate bedroom pop emotive sensibility in the lyrics and lexicon, but the production has all the polish you’d expect from a studio recording.
A playful air operates throughout, as if each song was hula hooping to the finish line. The Montreal-based artist adopts a leisurely pace to let each note sink in in these sweet and surprising numbers. Shades of Adrianne Lenker, Aldous Harding, and Joanna Newsom.
Extra points for the creamsicle-colored “Pink Pause” vinyl available on Bandcamp – beautiful!
