Who is it?
This is far from the first time we’ve talked about ELOHIM. The LA producer first popped up on our radar back in 2015, and we named her as one of our artists to watch for 2017. Now she’s back again with a new single and video, Skinny Legs.
Why should you listen to it?
ELOHIM has never been the kind of artist to lock herself to any musical genre, but Skinny Legs still marks a sharp stylistic swerve for her. It’s a dark, paranoid, intense dance track, her voice made unnerving by double-tracking, and it explodes into a raving, wordless chorus. The video matches the song’s frantic tension, as the artist and a junior version of herself find themselves in a dreamworld of glitches and chaotic neon, like a scene cut from Neuromancer. As always with ELOHIM, it’s a compelling trip into a headspace set to superbly produced music.
What’s next?
Skinny Legs is out now, with more to come from her later this year.
