Ukrainian six piece The Erised unveil their first EP, due for release early 2015, via forward thinking, South London based label, Med School. The band creates elegant electronic timbres led by front woman Sofia Sukorukova, whose sublime vocals drive her own pop oriented solo project Sonya and here deliver the emotive narrative of the music in powerful and absorbing fashion. The band also features two Med School favourites; Detail and Hidden Element, who have both previously featured in the labels renowned New Blood compilations. Lead track Pray is indicative of the quality and class abundant on the record. Passionfilled lyrics, cleverly crafted hooks, and graceful instrumentation inspire an immediate emotional connection with the story behind the song, driven by Sukhorukovas incredible vocal range. A Way To Forget You exhibits an equally heartfelt tale before The Keys Are In My Hand and closing track Its Over highlight the bands talents within the electronic sphere. Clinical drums and exquisite synths compliment the vocal delivery whilst guitars shimmer in this finely balanced EP. This debut EP from The Erised certainly represents the labels furthest step into new territory, embodying the abundance of raw talent that this exciting new act possesses.
