One of the most hotly anticipated debut records of the year starts with the subtly psychedelic “Turn To Dust” which oozes from your speakers like warm opium. Ellie Roswell delivers a bewitching range of confidently intimate whispers, punctuated with maniacal screams. All bases are covered, with a brilliant token feel-good track in “Freazy” and a grandeur ballad in “Swallowtail”. A shape-shifting fortress of killer songs, each defying categorisation and ricocheting labels like bullets off a tank.
