Stream New Music from Jess Ledbetter
Jess Ledbetter most recently was the guitarist/vocalist for local Austin gazers, Honeyrude. But, as of right now, she’s working on promoting her new Slow Desert EP. The lead track delves further into the dark world of dream pop, dense in sound, though sparkling spiritually. It’s really about the guitar work too, as if the chords are cautiously walking their way through some uncharted forest, anxiously creeping around each corner. I also applaud the restraint here, as it would clearly be easier to just let the song loose in the end, rather than hold onto the mold she’s crafted; she does not give in to the easy way out. Reminds me a bit of the latest stuff from Wax Idols. The EP will drop on May 4th via Shifting Sounds; you can also catch the song in visualizer format HERE.
