Despite the umlaut-style letter in the name, Låpsley is the middle name of by Liverpool singer Holly Fletcher, not some Scandanavian pop petal.
‘Station’, Fletcher’s new track is something a bit special. Pitching down her own vocals so she can duet with herself is the start of things, but the song has a beautiful shimmering ambience with rippling gentle chords and an animal-esque noise puncturing the atmosphere. The vocals nourish the song with soul and the handclaps provide focus. A wonderful three minutes listening experience.
