Recent New Talent pick Laurel Halo’s free EP from earlier this year, King Felix, is set to see proper release in November.

Four tracks long and given away through the Brooklyn-via-Michigan artist’s website, FACT’s review of King Felix referred to it as music that “seems to permanently hang in the air, incredibly still and angelic.

“It’s spacey, but never grandiose enough to be space-pop; it’s kaleidoscopic without being psyche; it’s hazy, but with the sort of strong hooks and clinical arrangements you don’t often associate with the chillwave or drag set – ‘Supersymmetry’ and ‘Metal Confection’ are particularly realised, and the sort of thing you’d hope would turn Kate Bush or Bjork’s head.”

Sound up your alley? Well, the increasingly exciting Hippos in Tanks label will be giving King Felix a proper physical release this November, remastered for vinyl with the bonus of a remix by synth overlord Oneohtrix Point Never. There will also be a new digital release.
