our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Elizabeth Owens, “Receiver”! ✊

blending atmospheric sounds, with lovely synths, and vocal stylings similar to that of Kate Bush, Caroline Polachek, Eli has really created a truly unique sound for themselves – we absolutely love what they are doing and all of their songs are simply beautiful! 😊 the production work on this song is sublime and really entrances the listener in. super great!

this song is part of their up-coming album, “Knock Knock”, an album which is “told in three acts, the record explores themes of sobriety, ego deconstruction, and spiritual materialism” – how insane does this sound? we can not WAIT to hear it. 🤘
