Snipe Likes: Hervé feat. Austra

Who’s to say whether we would have picked up on this stylish slow-burner had the word AUSTRA not popped up in our in-boxes in bold capitals – we are proverbial moths to the flame when it comes to Katie Stelmanis’ dramatic warble – but we’re glad we did. UK producer Hervé has taken a less direct approach on new album The Art of Disappearing; 2012’s Pick Me Up, Sort Me Out, Calm Me Down was something of an aggressive club slayer, but here Joshua Harvey seems to have picked up on the kind of post night-out vibes articulated with such herbal fervour by Massive Attack circa Blue Lines. It’s an enjoyable change of direction, however temporary.
The Art of Disappearing is out March 4 via Harvey’s own Cheap Thrills imprint. The LP also features the equally impressive Niki & The Dove.
