And Tel Aviv-born, LA-based <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leetriffon.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Lee Triffon<\/a> is here to bring us those\u00a0much-needed laid-back vibes in the form of her new EP\u00a0<em>Different Sun<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The album begins with Triffon&#8217;s wispy vocals projecting an ominous and slightly mysterious energy in her titular opening track. The music ebbs and flows with her airy voice, carrying you on a cushy cloud of low-key electronica. It transitions into her popular single &#8220;Mirrors in the Sand&#8221; from there. In this track, the songstress\u00a0stretches her range a bit more, telling a heartfelt tale using raspy vocals alongside a slow synthy backing. The midpoint of the EP sees &#8220;Silver Bullet Gun,&#8221; which is a more unique style from the previous two tracks, deviating into a more pronounced and ambitious song than her other two&#8211;it reaches out and grabs you, holding you captive to its enchanting sound. Although slow, it&#8217;s repetitive tracking makes it so the song reverberates around your head. The next song, &#8220;Caves,&#8221; is a bit faster than the others at times, and has an urgent yet unsettled feel to it. It further complements Triffon&#8217;s mysteriousness, a quality which is palpable in all the songs on\u00a0<em>Different Sun<\/em>. &#8220;Caves&#8221; is the last glimpse of sunlight on a particularly brisk winter evening, making it seasonally appropriate, but also a great way to end out an album. The last track is an orchestral version of &#8220;Mirrors in the Sand,&#8221; which is a more magical and theatrical spin on the original single.<\/p>\n<p>Take a listen to\u00a0<em>Different Sun<\/em> below, and maybe it&#8217;ll help you feel a bit more reinvigorated for the coming year.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/playlists\/274088951&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false&amp;visual=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lee Triffon&#8217;s latest EP &#8220;Different Sun&#8221; is provided us with the much-needed chill we need to add back into 2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":60,"featured_media":16971,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[202],"tags":[681,42,5256,284,1316,5428,1446,1513,3792,4375,5426,2035,955,4223,4377,4221,1470,1864,3640,3321,4376,5427],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.audiofemme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/15094493_1832318543692713_4180408072494298041_n.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.audiofemme.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16885"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.audiofemme.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.audiofemme.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.audiofemme.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/60"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.audiofemme.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16885"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.audiofemme.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16885\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17012,"href":"https:\/\/www.audiofemme.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16885\/revisions\/17012"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.audiofemme.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16971"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.audiofemme.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16885"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.audiofemme.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16885"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.audiofemme.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16885"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
