Wonderfully haunting, slow-burning drone pop by Emily Cross aka
Cross Record, a Midwestern native currently residing in Maine. Her debut LP
Be Good is set for release next month, and "Cups in the Sink" is the first track to be unveiled. It takes up the loose ends of fellow artists such as Cat Power, Bat for Lashes and the subtle, less determined eeriness of Grouper to come up with a gorgeous and alluring piece of autumnal melancholia. If you want to know more about how the album came about in the middle of a Michigan winter, you should head over to
YVYNYL to read a beautiful letter by Emily, telling the whole story.
Be Good is out in August on
Lay Flat. Pre-order now
