Nearly eight years after their debut, indie electronic trio Ultraísta — composed of Laura Bettinson, Nigel Godrich, and Joey Waronker — return with Sister, a richly crafted sophomore album released on Partisan Records in 2020. Bearing the unmistakable influence of Godrich's production sensibility, the record delivers skittering, sliced beats and beautifully textural synths that create an engrossing electronic soundworld, with Bettinson's glacial vocals floating above it all.
Sister takes listeners on a dynamic journey, opening with bright and sprightly energy before gradually deepening into more immersive, hypnotic territory. Tracks like "Harmony" and "Water in My Veins" — with its stretched-out synths and looped vocals — showcase the trio's ability to craft emotionally resonant electronic pop, drawing comparisons to acclaimed artists like Portishead and Lamb. The album comes housed in a gatefold jacket, making it a worthy addition to any serious collection.
