Exstoa is the solo project of Danish musician Ida Urd, and her new EP Embracing Solitude has its origins in her trip to Japan in 2018, where she was both inspired to write and made the initial recordings for what became the EP. Third track No Move is a nice introduction to the record – a slow-burning, delicate and stripped-back piece of soulful art-pop, built from a collage of complementary sounds. It’s a perfect soundtrack to watching the scenery roll by your window, as your bus takes you to a new part of the world.
