Pharrell said Alaska was like nothing he’d ever heard, but in 2017 it fits right in: a gently lilting beat that vaguely evokes tropicalia (or, for that matter, the Neptunes in their prime) along with a falsetto pre-chorus that vaguely evokes R&B. Follow-up single Dog Years, dotted with pan flutes, comes across as the exact midpoint of Peter Gabriel, Lorde, and Bleeding Love, and while no one’s done that particular intersection lately, the industry’s certainly revived everything in the vicinity

Produced by Maggie Rogers. Album Now That The Light Is Fading. Now that the light is fading Silver and purple at twilight Scenes of the day remain with us Bright as the fire is burning bright.

Maggie Rogers became an overnight sensation in 2016 when her performance at an NYU master class left Pharrell speechless. A year later, she delivers her highly anticipated debut EP, a mesmerizing blend of folk harmonies and electronic rhythms that’s both nostalgic and unmistakably current.

Unfortunately, the phantom presence of nature samples does little to alter the tone of the EP’s dance tracks - after all, if a tree falls in a Maggie Rogers song and no one is able to hear it, does it even make a sound?

It’s simple but stunning, recalling criminally underrated vocal trio Mountain Man, whose only album, 2010’s gorgeous a cappella ‘Made The Harbor’ should be sought out by fans of Rogers, as well as band member Amelia Meath’s current project, organic disco duo Sylvan Esso. Williams’ fave, ‘Alaska’, is up next. Like Haim on a hiking trip, its melancholy melody is at odds with its serious groove.
