Rouge's Foam's Adam Harper hit me up the other day with a recommendation to check out Tartu, Estonia's singer
Luka, who he had seen live at this year's
Tallinn Music Week, known to be the most important music industry gathering in the Baltic region and Eastern Europe. And indeed this is some excellent and very promising stuff here, definitely something a lot more people should be aware of. "Midnight" is a subtly seducing piece of lo-fi synth pop, very classy, or in Adam's words (I've tried to come up with something myself but this is just too good), "like a post-Apocalyptic James Bond film theme, from a future world where economic crises have lead to the deaths of half the world population and no one can afford anything but a casio and a pair of dusty velvet curtains and a cocktail glass but they're still dismally trying to make James Bond films. Or something." Exactly.
No doubt an artist to keep an eye on. You may listen to more of her material and download it for free
