Joy Orbison - "The shrew would have cushioned the blow "

I had my doubts about Joy Orbison's Hyph Mngo single last year which was the subject of much hyperbole. It had a decent filtered synth hook but the drums sounded too mechanical and quantized to me. I was also amazed that no-one seemed to suggest it owed a fair bit to Todd Edwards with it's cut-up vox. But I do love this latest EP which sounds much more organic to me. The wierdly titled "The shrew would have cushioned the blow" does suggest this chap might have "it" after all. Great stuff.
