Little Scream

Artist- Little Scream
Album- The Golden Record
Label- Secretly Canadian


Featuring members of Silver Mt. Zion, The National, and Arcade Fire at times, it’s clear that Little Scream aka Laurel Sprengelmeyer has friends in high places. For most of her debut album, she plays most of the instruments, switching deftly between guitar, synths, vocals, and loops. The first two singles, “Cannons” and “The Heron and the Fox”, show the range of Little Scream. The former was neat layered echo-y effects and guitars (vaguely recalling Land of Talk), while the later is soft and acoustic like a Sharon Van Etten or a Cat Power track. “Guyegaros” has a Patti Smith-talking vibe and lo-fi chords.
