Ella Hooper, who taught us the meaning of the word ‘weir’ and also that it is preferable for children to grow up in cities lest their hair go wrong, is only now launching a solo career. As you know, the girl can wail real good, so it is to her credit that Low High is all songcraft and restraint and very little in the way of unbridled wailing. The barking male backing vocals and curious little Pocahontas rhythms are reminiscent of the recent PJ Harvey, in fact, or Clare Bowditch, if Clare Bowditch were just a little cooler.
