After falling in love with the absolutely mesmerizing Understudy EP in the beginning of the year, Walrus’ deep devotion to Lapsley is once again reassured with “Burn”. The song revolves around the exciting possibilities Lapsley keeps finding for her own voice, against a minimalistic background which builds up to release just the right amount of loudness.
A similarly exciting crescendo is also one of the reasons I was so enthralled by “Dancing” from Understudy. Besides that, it shares with “Burn” those tiny and careful steps which are her trademark, but also the true sign of an artist with a singular vision.
