So great to hear Cuushe’s sweet vocals along with this perfect brisk and bright pop arrangement. Drums are stellar!

Cuushe preps to cast her new project out into the world with an exclusive 7” single. Named FEM — which stands for “Finite Element Method” (a way of problem-solving by subdividing large into small) — the project marks a change from Cuushe’s usual electronic dreamscapes, instead stepping into the realm of guitars, bass and drums.

Evan Dorrian, a member of the Australian avant-jazz quintet Tangents (Temporary Residence) drums skip and skitter jazz-style at the stomping heart of ‘Light’, twinkling guitars, aching FX and arpeggiating keyboards providing the soundtrack to a running jump up into the clouds themselves. Cuushe’s vocals characteristically whisper the sentiment of the lyrics, which brim with youthful optimism in the midst of the track’s J-pop sensibilities.

The remnants of a demo that’s half a decade old, ‘Light’ arrives two years after data for Cuushe’s music was stolen in a callous burglary. Miraculously, and somehow fittingly, ‘Light’ survived to become the first song of her brand new project — accompanied by a remix from IGLOOGHOST (Brainfeeder), who breaks down the song and rebuilds it in a colourful apocalypse of minimalist sound.
