Johanna Cranitch’s latest project, White Prism is in many ways a much-needed and welcome reboot from her previous project, Johanna and the Dusty Floor. Backed by icy synths, and danceable but delicate New Wave-era influenced beats, Cranitch’s voice, which bobs, darts and floats above the icy surface of White Prism’s music, has an ethereal but gently seductive quality. Sounding as though she were singing directly towards you, the very lovely Cranitch seems much more like a siren whose call will have your poor wooden ship smashed against a rocky shore …

Ladytron was enlisted to remix “Fool” off White Prism’s debut self-titled EP, and Ladytron turns the icy indie pop song inspired by Paula Abdul and Mariah Carey into a sleek up-tempo club banger.
