Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Jazz-pop perfection somewhere between St Vincent, Feist and Hiatus Kayote, Stevie Toddler’s grooving bass and unforgettable melodies float her gracefully to the top echelons of Bristol’s nu-jazz scene. For starters: Lawi Anywar spellbinds with his hypnotically heavy brand of shoegaze-funk, like a math-rock Yves Tumour."
