The Morning After

Eh-sides win with this beauty from across the Strait.  Vancouver-bred but Euro based Rykka came across my desk in an email from DJ Boitano.

Rykka recorded previously under her given name, Christina Maria.  Through experimentation and tour, she developed an edgier sound, some electro, and some pop.  Last year she hopped in a Vancouver studio with producer Ryan Guldemond (best known for fronting Mother Mother)  and put together a record called Kodiak (April, Vissen Records).

The first single is “Blackie” which The Province describes:  “sounds as dark as its title, all anguished vocal submerged in echo and a bubbly kind of electronica.”

Pretty fun pop song.

Go with yourself.
