“Call My Name”
From Untitled New LP
The unpronounceable/unspellable Brooklyn synth-poppers return with their most ambitious cut to date. Over the last couple years, the quartet has been consistently pumping out dreamy, nostalgic jams, but “Call My Name” ratchets the melodrama up to 11. Their delightfully-named vocalist, Nini Fabi (which sounds like a fancy Greenpoint Bistro), stamps her authority all over the gauzy, evocative synth-line, doubtlessly a bi-product of many rainy nights listening to The Radio Dept. With that kind of arraignment, it’s easy for the vocalist to sort of blend in with vibe (see: every fucking chillwave song ever), but Fabi is undeterred. Her powerful, Stevie Nicks-ish vocal creates a powerful foil for the languid arraignment, which separates “Call My Name” from much of the work in the genre.
