There’s always been a certain kaleidoscopic contour in Third Girl From The Left’s artistic output. Blending electronica with organic and retro influences, the Exeter-based songstress has built a sonic framework that greatly serves her ethereal and evocative vocals, so stunningly perfect yet also so expressive. While many of our readers might remember her for the project’s debut EP ‘Oxygen’, – almost two years ago – Third Girl From The Left seems to be back in full force, showcasing a decisive change in direction.
Pursuing more punchy and groovy arrangements, while retaining the aura of eclecticism and leftfield charge that so greatly define her – the British talent now returns with ‘Dance’. In it, the listener will be met with retro-inspired majestic goodness, building a luscious sonic framework that seems to contrast furious drum beats and groovy bass lines with more nuanced, spacious electronic offerings, eventually creating a piece that firmly stands at the intersection of dance, indie and pop.
Featuring Third Girl From The Left’s saturated and filtered vocals, often engaging in spoken word, ‘Dance’ configures itself as a hypnotising dancefloor anthem – at least for the bolder DJs, daring to serve their punters a higher level of musical references. Describing the writing process behind the record, the Exeter resident explains: “I wanted Dance to conjure visions of someone’s first time festival experience. A sensory overload. A time to be free, to forget, to shake off and explore who you are and what you can be.”
