"AB-EP is for music lovers and those tired of the wintry days we're currently speeding away from."

Spring is here, friends. If you choose to disagree, here is exhibit A: Ali Barter's new EP. 

The Melbourne singer ekes every bit of sunshine from her city's streets, delivering them via luscious arrangements and a voice that invites you to sink into your favourite deck chair and push the winter blues away. There's attitude aplenty on tracks like Hypercolour and I Ask For So Little that indicate she's not a saccharine-sweet vocalist to be discarded on the pile of also-rans. AB-EP is for music lovers and those tired of the wintry days we're currently speeding away from.
