Saa recently announced the release of their self-titled debut EP on boutique electronic label Left Blank with the gorgeous 'Your Sword Is Your Silence'. The duo now follow up with the video for 'Against Interpretation' off the EP, with darkly kaleidoscopic hypercolour images set to the sound of intricate and bass heavy avant-pop which premiered on Noisey.com here.

Saa is a new project forged across borders between Asher Levitas of acclaimed shadowy London outfit Old Apparatus, and Norwegian avant-garde musician and vocalist Linn Carin Dirdal.

Taking cues from classic pop production of the 70's and 80's, the early 4AD sound of The Cocteau Twins et al, pastoral folk, along with contemporaries such as The Knife, Saa make gloriously intricate avant-pop, as exciting as it is unclassifiable.

Levitas' high production values will come as no surprise to fans of the aforementioned Old Apparatus, and here his complex rhythm arrangements and delicate electronics perfectly support Dirdal's layered vocals, which range from upfront and powerful to moments of choral beauty.

Watch: BANKS - 'Warm Water' Video

Dim lights Embed Embed this video on your site

BANKS is pleased to unveil the visuals for her new single 'Warm Water' that was released this week to enter into the iTunes electronic singles chart Top Ten, as well as seeing her emerge as the most talked about new artist simultaneously in the Twitter emerging artist chart and on Hype Machine.

‘Warm Water’ is the new single from emerging LA-based electronic singer-songwriter BANKS, released May 27 on London label Good Years. It quickly follows her first release featuring the tracks ‘Before I Ever Met You’ and ‘Fall Over’ which introduced her seductively nocturnal electronic pop, existing somewhere between the tempestuous space of the club and the intimacy and lovelorn emotional haven of a candlelit piano room. The tracks quickly attracted heavy airplay online and across BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra.  

‘Warm Water’ is a more subtle and spacious affair. Produced by UK electronic pop prodigy Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs who made a name with acclaimed debut album ‘Trouble’ as well as releases on Greco Roman, it flickers of with the emotional directness and fragility of classic soul and jazz vocalists as projected  through a modern day prism of warm synth pads and gently gurgling electronic percussion, leaving a spellbinding melody to shine through.

Three mesmerizing tracks in and it’s clear that BANKS is well on her way to cementing her position as a promising new artist in the landscape of forward-thinking pop.
