“this is indie songwriting at its finest, and Ada’s vocals are the cherry on top.” - Clash
“Levy’s lo-fisonic palette and dreamy, speak-sung vocals hint at intimacy, her creative use of sound effects and electronics the mark of an archivist.” – Uncut
“Ada Lea has a musical mind that pushes so much further than just some melodies and words.” – The Line Of Best Fit
This is on full display on today’s single, a mid-tempo, lilting song “baby blue frigidaire mini fridge.” Of the inspiration behind the song, Levy reflects impressionistically: “The Chantal Akerman film where the camera moves in slow circular pans around her apartment. Then what if the frame quickly zooms out as far as it could possibly go? And in that wide pull back, what we recognize as universal is still ‘this chair, this window, this mountain view.’ Then, move out again, even further. What we are left with—three things: ‘our old time souls, this old time moon.’ Two things, I mean.”
