BABY BLOOD is the balaclava’d alter ego of Danish rapper LUCY LOVE, and her music is 50% art, 50% insurrection. Her recent single Gender Science, which we included in our Weekly Discoveries list, saw her take down gender boundaries and limits over electronic squall and thudding beats. And now we’re delighted to be able to bring you the exclusive premiere of the entirety of her debut EP, Await The Coven.
Await The Coven is an EP that shows BABY BLOOD is not messing about. The opening three tracks, Figurine, White Lotus and Gender Science are three excellent examples of muscular electronica, murky and dubby with a hint of gut-punching power about them, and she keeps that quality up across the whole EP. Speaking about Await The Coven, she says:
‘I wanted to compose an EP that would give the listener a three-dimensional, spiritual and monumental sonic experience. ‘Await The Coven’ is the birth of my sound, embodying everything that’s BABY BLOOD.’
And if this is the birth of BABY BLOOD, it’s difficult to think of a better opening statement than Await The Coven. It’s out tomorrow (Jun 17th) on The Big Oil Recording Company, and in the meantime you can listen exclusively below.
