What better way to announce the forthcoming arrival of your third full-length album than to unveil a bold, stirring statement of intent. ‘Blanket Me’, the first single to be taken from Communicating, the Floridian trio Hundred Waters next long-player is all of that and more. It is a grand, emphatic swell of piano-led synthetic pop, over which Nicole Miglis’s fearlessly independent voice repeats the song’s title again and again until such time as the words blur into some helpless vanishing point where they can no longer have any discernible meaning in this world. A beautiful, atmospheric combination of vocals and electronic soundtrack, ‘Blanket Me’ is as exuberant as it is formidable.
Communicating, the long-awaited follow-up to 2014’s The Moon Rang Like a Bell, will be released on 14 September via !K7.
