Nedelle Torrisi has spent about a decade making music—in her own band (Cryptacize), backing other people’s bands (Xiu Xiu, Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti, Saturday Looks Good to Me, and Sufjan Stevens‘s band), and, since 2005’s From the Lion’s Mouth (credited simply to “Nedelle,” no last name), as a solo act turning out blissful R&B-tilting jams. She releases her new album, Advice From Paradise, this Summer and it’s her best work yet, full of smooth and synth-y grooves, Torrisi’s dreamy vocals, and cameos from Dev Hynes (Blood Orange), Nite Jewel, and Julia Holter.
