The Predatory Wasp
System Olympia has a new greatest hits album out, and even though everything on it has been previously released, I still think it’s worth highlighting as it’s really brilliant. Also: that album cover. Now I’m no prude, but I was genuinely startled. New Erotica Collection very much by both name and nature it seems.

I don’t think I’ve enjoyed a track more than this in the last few months. Just listen those pads! Ridiculous. Taken from her new “mini-album” (EP?) Racing Heart, which is also great.
“She lay by the poolside, dipping her hands into the water as she wondered where her lover might be. It had been three days since he’d left her in the baking heat, stuck in a motel on the wrong side of town. She’d never dreamt it might have turned out like this? What with all the money, the wild nights and the excess. How had it all come crashing down around them all so horribly? Why was she the one all alone?”
