Thea Gustafsson–AKA Becky And The Birds–is the newest signing to the esteemed 4AD Records. Her debut single for the label, “Do U Miss Me,” is an interesting slice of electronic pop. The song features a manipulated, sped up vocal married to what sounds like a Harold Budd sample. Dark and brooding yet jazzy and sophisticated, the song reminds us of Robyn. Also, we’re hearing a bit of Minnie Riperton in here, too–and we are perfectly fine with that. She’s to tour Europe soon, with a proper EP release coming soon. We’re hoping it’s as satisfyingly weird as this.
