Claire Rousay & More Eaze: “limelight, illegally”
The collab continues. More Eaze and Claire Rousay follow up 2022’s Never Stop Texting Me with another dive into the intersection of ambient, electronica, and pop with the full-length no floor. Our highlighted track “limelight, illegally” is a meditative piece, a slow tempo gambol, shades of a Copland-flavored Heartland. Big negative spaces, the comfort food of strings (or what sounds like strings?) and steel pedal and piano, interspersed with digital alien noise. Gentle enough for your grandma. Via Thrill Jockey.
