Just The Crust 02/08/21: (Eli)zabeth Owens – Receiver โ˜€๏ธ

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

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! ๐Ÿ˜Š 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. ๐Ÿค˜

head on over to Eli’s Spotify over at https://open.spotify.com/artist/5Xbsx8aEB8amFpnnPUvUbl to find all of their latest singles – drop them a follow to be updated when the album is out! it’s being released through Grimalkin Records too, an independent label/collective doing some fantastic stuff over in the US! ๐Ÿ˜Ž (https://www.grimalkinrecords.com/)
