Hot Jam of the Day: Elysia Crampton, “Lake”

Elysia Crampton
“Lake”
Moth/Lake (out now on Boomkat Editions)

The architect of one of the strongest, most singular efforts of last year, Elysia Crampton (formerly E+E) is set to release her proper debut, American Drift, this summer. Luckily for us, she treated us to this lovely, 2-song appetizer. Inspired by the lakes of the Shenandoah Valley, “Lake” is an amphibious, humid sonic world full of crickets, foreboding hand drums, and droning synths. “Moth” isn’t currently streaming online, but it is also very much worth your time, and I’d highly recommend heading to Boomkat before the 300-press vinyl sells out. American Drift is quickly becoming one of my most anticipated albums of 2015.
