More often it hovers between, ambivalent yet : :' beautifully apprehended by Hana Vu on her debut EP How Many ': ,: Times Have You Driven By. Written and produced by Hana herself, :, : the EP masters the defining balance of bedroom pop: itÆs warm, : :' sparse, and whisper-intimate yet at the same time wholly ': ,: radio-ready. The opening "Crying on the Subway", set on the :, : purgatorial Metro Red Line between downtown and the valley, is : :' saturated with a mood of L.A. noir, with Hana singing to her ': ,: reflection: ôIn my dreams IÆm in that grey room. In my chest IÆm :, : feeling dark blue. Take the Red Line into downtown. IÆm trying : :' to escape you.ö It was this songù or rather its accompanying ': ,: videoù that first tripped the sensors of Chris and Graham of :, : Luminelle Recordings, a recent offshoot of Fat Possum. The : :' precocious Vu, at only seventeen, had already written music for ': ,: five years, self-released an album on Soundcloud featuring a :, : collab with Willow Smith, and polished up enough new songs for a : :' gem of an EP, which they eagerly signed, pressed, and called in ': ,: Clay Jones (Modest Mouse, Sunflower Bean) to master. :, : : :' ': ,: Clamoring for creative outlets from an early age, she formed :, : musical projects and played shows, though without fully clicking : :' with her teen peers in the local D.I.Y. brat-pack. ôI wouldnÆt ': ,: call myself a curmudgeon, but I found it hard to be friends with :, : other young people. Instead, I found two or three key homies, : :' then just did my own thingù socially and in my musicöù partly ': ,: explaining the ambition and ambiance of How Many Times Have You :, : Driven By. On "Cool", for instance, Hana drapes a lower-key, : :' soulful melody over beats borrowed from her friend Satchy, who ': ,: also chimes in for a verse as they tarry with lifeÆs :, : misfortunes. She follows this with "Shallow", in which her calm : :' twists into agitation and a more recognizably rock ': ,: instrumentation, all played and recorded by Hana in her bedroom. :, : The EP returns to peace with the dreamy "426"ù the address of a : :' summer residence in which Hana discovered a sense of place or ': ,: belongingù though fleetingly, as her friends disbanded at the :, : seasonÆs end. But, cÆest la vie. Solitude, for all its : :' occasional pangs, is for Hana Vu as much a condition of her ': ,: independence, a little breathing room from the throng to forge :, : her own certain future in music. As sheÆll tell you, with poise : :' and fairly pleased with things so far,ôI spend most of my time ': ,: alone.ö :, : : :' ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 1 8 \/
