Songwriter and producer Jessica Winter has been at the beating heart of London's underground music scene for as long as we can remember. Showing bagfuls of promise with serial band efforts over the years, Winter inked a deal for herself with Warp Publishing back in January and is showing no signs of looking back. Whilst her production role in fellow TMR faves PREGOBLIN has regularly demonstrated her for penchant for big beats and catchy pop melodies, Winter's new solo effort 'Play' drags you head first into a dystopian hyper-pop realm. Sounding at home among contemporaries from Billie Eilish to SOPHIE and Yves Tumor, 'Play' is a tantalising exploration of lightness and dark. Pairing layers of pitch-shifted vocals with cinematic strings in the impactful opening, the beat drops early on as abrasive stabs of noise guitar disrupt the comparatively pristine vocals. Marching beats add a sense of disjointedness as addictive synth melodies carry the track to its apocalyptic climax. Check out conversely amusing video for 'Play' here now. -Holly Mullineaux
