Review: Four years have passed since Ikonika last dropped a body of work this size on us. And boy is she making up for lost time.... Instantly hitting with warmth and humour on "Girlfriend" she sideswipes us into a vast musical world where dots are joined between west coast funk, grime and R&B with stark linear style. From the sensual stutters and swoons of "Noblest" to the grainy, immersive Boards Of Canada-style "Do I Watch It Like A Cricket Match?" by way of the rich juicy west coast funk elements of the otherwise barbed "Lossy" and delicate futurist soul of "Hazefield", this is the warmest and most expressive Ikonika has sounded so far.... And it sounds amazing. Distractions are good for the soul, right?
