The Doll The kind of cake that you eat one slice of and then put the rest under one of those glass domes. The cake sits there on the bench, you can't stop looking at it, your mouth waters, and of course you have another slice. And another. Until it's all gone. You are totally fulfilled by this delicacy, yet at the same time feel a little over-saturated as you lie on the couch unable to move. This track is just like that - it stupefies you and leaves you unable to resist it's hook. Favorite track: Strawberry Cake.

DAI Mabel (and the numerous featured artists) hit something really special here. Tight mixing, clever sampling, and truly touching lyrics come together to make this her best album to date. Favorite track: Overfamiliar (feat. Spartan Jet-Plex).

about

On her new album, B/X, Don't do it, Neil's Mabel Harper ruminates on love and loneliness while shifting into hi-fi and expanding her sonic boundaries. B/X features the incorporation of new eclectic influences, such as R&B and electronic dance music, into Don't do it, Neil's signature DIY bedroom sound. The album's glittery pop sheen forms the hooky candy coating on a raw reflection on the charged interplay between devotion and desire.
