Mas Ysa, "Face"
Mas Ysa's singing style--which occasionally reminds me of a choirboy being strangled--should probably be termed "an acquired taste." But I've definitely acquired it; in fact, Mas Ysa falls squarely into a whole genre of throaty-screamy male singers I'm really loving right now, like Samuel Herring from Future Islands, Ellery Roberts from Lost Under Heaven, and the guy from Holy Esque.
Mas Ysa's new EP is full of strong new songs, but this one is my favorite, partly because of the instrumentation, but mainly because of the chorus: "You're lying when the truth sounds better."
