The arachnophobes among us would be advised to get over the title as this is another great single by Ebba Gustafsson Ågren. Better known as her musical project, Cuntrie.
Elegantly mixing a diverse array of styles ‘Spider’ surprises with a chilled-out and laid-back vibe. The hip-hop percussion is seamlessly blended to a backdrop of atmospheric synths and warbling keyboards. Ebba’s vocal captivates once more – her plaintive charming tone effortlessly expresses her phobia and fears. No histrionics, no impassioned wailing, just a thoroughly captivating and beguilingly understated performance.
‘Spider’ is released November 29th on Feverish.
