(Hyperdub)
★★★★
AYA is one of Hyperdub’s latest signings and her debut album for the label is a heady mix of innovative, provocative poetic experimental dubstep influences combined with left field understated whispered folk.
It aims to pull the listener through tangled moments within her life that are in conversation with each other.
