Happy at Your Gate
“Happy at Your Gate,” the opening track from Erika Spring’s new EP on Cascine has been in heavy rotation lately. The song plays a wistful melody against clear-eyed drum and synth programming, creating a cool, confident vibe that stands in contrast to the the reverby conventions of recent bedroom pop. It’s a welcome reminder that side projects and solo outings don’t need to be a “new direction” to get people talking. Erika Spring is good at what she does, and the music speaks for itself.
