Her full-length debut, :, : Someone New, expands on the intimate, exploratory sounds of her : :' earlier work, taking the form of a 13-song set with subtly ': ,: shifting sounds and structures. Opener "Someone New" introduces :, : Deland's gentle, youthful voice and distracted demeanor, at : :' first over a drone that eventually falls on- and off-pitch. ': ,: Just before the one-minute mark, the song picks up keys, a :, : rhythmic guitar pattern, and muffled drums to establish a tempo, : :' while Deland's surrealistic ruminations continue ("If things go ': ,: my way/I'll stay in this room/Where tonight I want to :, : lay/Kissing someone new/With a familiar face/ I can't replace"). : :' The song settles into something outright catchy, though the ': ,: occasional unexpected chord progression and details like :, : disappearing bass keep things off-kilter. Later, the : :' more-insistent "Dog" incorporates hip-hop beats and distortion, ': ,: while "Comfort, Edge" adopts a sultry, R&B-indebted strategy. :, : The latter also plays liberally with the edit and mix, including : :' alternate vocal takes and various understated instrumental ': ,: interjections. More-experimental tracks include the serpentine :, : "Fruit Pie" and minimalist "Smoking at the Gas Station" ("I need : :' to get out of the house today/To try my face out on ': ,: strangers"), as well as the strings-and-guitar instrumental "The :, : Walk Home." The album closes with the hushed "Fill the Rooms" : :' ("with music"), a track with eerie multi-tracked vocals and ': ,: harp-like arpeggiated guitar. Throughout Someone New, on top of :, : its hypnotic mix of the strange and familiar, Deland's : :' vulnerable voice helps make her self-conscious, searching ': ,: commentaries all the more engrossing :, : : :' ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / 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 2 0 \/
