Imogen Mason of the London trio Voka Gentle is about to release her debut solo LP under the name sm^sher. The album, titled pit of mine, is coming in November via the experimental hub Scrawl World Ltd. (formerly SA Recordings). Opening track and lead single “beggars belief” is a geometric electronic pop track with eerie piano and keyboard lines backed by crisp, stuttering programmed drums. It’s billed as a tribute to the late Mira Calix; per Mason, “The lyrics speak to the confusion and anger around finding yourself in a situation that you never imagined would happen.” Listen below.
