Little Scream gets hot-footed with ‘Dark Dance’

Everything delivered from Little Scream’s new record, ‘Cult Following’, has been in another league. And the form continues with ‘Dark Dance’, a playful standout from Laurel Sprengelmeyer’s new record.

Linking up with ‘Love as a Weapon’ and ‘The Kissing’ (her collaboration with TV On the Radio’s Kyp Malone), ‘Dark Dance’ is a star-gazing wanderer. It plants its feet in wide-open terrain, all hushed vocals and feedback-backed synth notes. Softly-softly is the ethos, but that doesn’t stop Sprengelmeyer from verging into explosive territory.

New album ‘Cult Following’ features lots of big-name guest spots, including Sufjan Stevens, Sharon Van Etten, Owen Pallett and The National’s Aaron and Bryce Dessner. Despite those oh-my-god-exciting collaborations, the spotlight doesn’t shift from Sprengelmeyer. It’s an ace record and it’s due out via Merge 6th May (US / Canada) and 3rd June (UK).
