17-year-old Los Angeles-based artist Hana Vu approaches her proper debut EP already a bedroom pop virtuoso. For the past five years, she's self-released music on SoundCloud and Bandcamp, which has caught the ears of collaborator Willow Smith, tour-mate Soccer Mommy, fans Tegan & Sara, and Gorilla vs. Bear (who signed Vu to their label). GvB say this eclectic new self-produced collection goes "from soulful torch songs and breezy west coast hip-hop-influenced summer jams, to emotional indie rock rippers and beautiful, swaying dream-pop." It's out on Luminelle Recordings.
