Darla is an underappreciated label and this is just one of the reasons why their catalogue shines through to those willing to plunge into the obscure - delicious female fronted dream/indie pop with some really great beats that occasionally remind me of trip-hop, if trip-hop had more live-sounding drums. Highly recommended.
