When you’re making a substantial effort to be known as unknown then you sure as hell need something to back it up with. Lovelier Other are a duo from the U.S, whose identities are currently being kept secret. They first appeared towards the end of last year when their stunning debut single, ‘Leave This Behind’ caught the attention of a select few keen-eared listeners. Bewitching and elegant, the song was a slow-crawl through the art of restraint; yearning vocals purring over deft electronic flourishes and floral keys and strings.

Another new track has surfaced this week in the form of ‘Hidden Shelters’. Less immediate than its predecessor it may well be, however the dull ache of the monochromatic vocals coupled with another gorgeous and graceful backdrop means that it’s never less than utterly fascinating. That palpable sense of fascination will prove to be an important factor for Lovelier Other over the next few months. The internet isn’t really a place for keeping secrets so it’ll be interesting to see what the game-plan is in terms of releasing new material and, we assume at some point, their identities. In all honesty though, when the music being made is this striking, it really doesn’t matter who’s behind it.
