Save a prayer for me

Ipso Facto – Iris Leu

Iris Leu makes music that’s halfway between the electronic waves of Loquat and the gentle piano-pop of Vienna Teng. But far more danceable than either.

It’s not the sort of music you use to burnish your indie credentials, but it’s precisely the sort of thing you listen to on a dreary Tuesday, when it’s becoming clear that your crazy plan of somehow finding moderately affordable last-minute tickets to fly you across the country for Thanksgiving with your girlfriend is not going to pan out. In short, it’s something to cheer you up, but which will also avoid insulting your feelings with an artificial cheeriness.

“Ipso Facto” is from her upcoming record Hushaboo, which is due out in early 2009. In the meantime you can pick up her debut EP here.
