Fresh and local: Leo, TIDXLS
Leo is Amy Williams, a 16-year-old high-school student from North Van with a musical vision belying her youth.
TIDXLS is a mature-sounding effort from the singer-songwriter, all breathy vocals and down-tempo electronics. Imagine Purity Ring minus the grisly lyrics and trap-inspired production, or a less out-there FKA Twigs.
It’s a great overall sound, although taken individually, the water-themed songs (titles include “Swimming Pools” and “Drowners”) tend to wash over the listener without leaving a huge impression. One exception is the title track, a millennial-generation anthem that boasts the album’s most buoyant hook.
