There's an intensely earthy feeling to crop circles, a recent EP from Brighton & Hove artist REA. Having grown up in rural Staffordshire has lent a rustic charm to REA's songs, which are already written in a decidedly fragile way. Sounding like they are being transmitted by a bucolic time traveller on a telephone, mixing a history of humanity's connection to earth with technological advancements of advanced music production noodling. These additions of electric-leaning sounds are subtle and decorative, but they create a contrast to REA’s up-close-and-personal approach. These four songs will make you feel like you're wearing a cardigan and coming back from feeding the ducks. "benny" is all classical alt-folk a la Iron & Wine, the vocal delivery soft and understated, the lyrics obscured by their own fragility. Same again for "you make the plants grow", which sounds like drunken lovers swooning each other under a bird-stuffed tree and vibrant aurora beams. "2005" is the most songy song here, an approach "june, soon" also takes before manifesting into lovely sections of wordless vocal harmonies, while what sounds like a fire crackles in the background; you can almost see the orange glow.
