Like Weather is electronic songwriter Leila's much hearted album from 1998. It's a real classic that has never before been reissued, until now. The remastered release first came on Aphex Twin's cult Rephlex label at a time when the artist was playing keys in Bjork's band. It's a beguiling mix of squealing electronics and lo-fi pop, lullaby-like melodies and outlier R&B, all with blurred edges, frayed textures and a warm analogue hum and hiss throughout. While some tracks are leftfield and unsettling, others are beautiful tender and affecting. This reissue will likely win the artist a wealth of new fans.
