Classically trained on piano and violin, Poppy fell in love with contemporary piano and sounds made beyond the keys. Delicate, intricate, beautifully atmospheric music made from manipulating and multi-tracking sounds from piano and violin. Awyeh approved. RIYL Hauschka, Nihls Frahm

*1. (4:32) Intricate soft piano, soft strings, strumming the piano strings
**2. (5:11) Aptly titled Rain, gentle shower, long romantic bowed strings, dreamy piano. Quiet rain intro and outro
3. (3:46) Overlapping percussive and melodic elements, rich
4. (4:54) Beat and melody emerge out of quick piano flutters, strong buildup then gets quiet and flutters are really subtle for a minute back to overall melody
*5. (4:06) Thuthud percussion, elegant piano loops, long low sustained bow
6. (4:45) Slow, longing violin, piano starts soft loops, soft percussion
7. (4:15) Lonely elegant piano, soft percussive beat starts up, e-bowing piano strings, gets melodramatic
