AOTS: Clara Engel, Madagascar EP

She emailed me a few weeks ago with a link to her EP on Bandcamp, and I'm never sure what to think on the odd occasions that that happens. And no matter what I thought, this is better. The title track, for instance, is one of the few songs to have actually scared me. It's more wild than either of the other two tracks, howling, screeching, and crashing like thunder. Accompanied By Dreams is softer, more open, less like being chased through a storm and more like seeing moving shadows in an empty room. There's a strange spectral beauty to it, slight but still powerful. Watch out for her.
