By adding an extra layer of complexity to her sound without compromising on intimacy, it’s a solid evolution that bodes incredibly well for wherever she swims to next.
Låpsley’s second album is stripped of collaborators, but its clean aesthetic highlights the scars of real experience.
What is less familiar are her more outward-facing lyrics. Whereas her debut was all about the personal, Through Water is more explicitly political.
While fans will be glad to know that Through Water generally adheres to the well-embraced, cushiony indie electronica of Long Way Home, its "2.0" quality makes it an even better entry point for the uninitiated.
After four years, perfecting her craft, it is evident that the singer is a more confident producer.
