“Alena”
Digital Single (Cascine)
The New Zealand post-chillwave (ugh) trio returns with a twinkling new single that features a surprisingly hearty dash of dancefloor-ready bass. The added heft is a pleasing compliment to their sleepy dream-pop vibes with Kim Pflaum’s playful, alluring vocal sounding more virile than in their previous work. Whether “Alena” remains a sonic outlier or marks a stylist shift for the group, it stands as one of the strongest statements of their young career.
