American singer Elend Winthrop is back with a new EP Your Heroes Hate You Too.
The Seattle artist’s latest is an explosion of pent-up energy, perfecting her signature blend of intimate lyricism and electronic exploration.
Sophia Brusasco had spent much of her life learning to express her inner life through music, but when she debuted the Winthrop persona, she was able to truly tap into her authenticity for the first time.
Across five genuinely unpredictable tracks, she fully realizes the potential hinted at by her first singles. While a lifelong fascination with trap and dubstep has always been at the heart of her sound, these new songs also showcase a keen pop sensibility.
“It may be confusing, but that’s by design,” she says. “These songs came from some confusing situations.”
The EP’s title track is perhaps the most poignant of the producer’s young career. It’s her most intricately produced, layering her vocals into a mesmerizing sound.
