Riya Mahesh, described as an 'insanely Texas girl' and a medical student, has found time between studying for her boards to craft a unique brand of plunderphonics - which is a fancy way of saying she samples bits of life into catchy pop tunes. Her seventh project in six years, *Blue Angel Sparkling Silver 2*, sounds like it was pieced together from fragments of her own memory, which is either deeply artistic or a sign she needs more sleep. On 'Berlin,' she sings to a wayward lover over a moony breakbeat and IDM glitches, while what sounds like a lecture recording floats in the background - because why not multitask your love life and education? 'Star100' starts with whispers and garbled laughter before giving way to her multitracked harmonies, and just when you're getting lost in the weirdness, she drops a wildly catchy chorus on 'Dealerz' (a collab with Danish band A Good Year). Recommended if you like Grace Ives, Porter Robinson, or Grimes, and touring EU/UK in November - assuming she can get a break from residency.
