Brooklyn-based dream-pop artist Elly Kace describes herself as a “queer sound healing mystic and indie artist,” which is fair enough. She’s also a gifted songwriter, with songs such as the recently released “Backwards in Blue” dripping with sweet sincerity, delicious melody, and mood by the shovel-full. “Her baroque-pop portals incorporate earthy vocals, sparkling sound worlds and sound medicine to conjure a new paradigm of radical self love,” her website reads, and that tracks. “What Would Be Enough,” as with much of her music, has elements of Jane Siberry’s ethereal, emotion-stirring alt-pop, and there’s some Portishead in there too. But Kace’s sound is her own.
