Italian producer Leila Gharib aka Sequoyah Tiger presents her debut EP. Gharib's songs, which take their cues from traditional genres like doo-wop as much as from contemporary experimental pop acts like Panda Bear, revolve around her processed and at times layered vocals, complemented by gripping rhythms and rich harmonies. Breakages, repetition, and delays are not flaws, but rather integral elements in Gharib's songwriting process, in which the musical quality of language develops a life of its own. Sequoyah Tiger's opaque lyrics aim less at creating narratives than at generating new meanings that tie in perfectly with her highly allusive music. Includes download code.
