Three-quarters of the way through Hand Habits ' 2021 album , Meg Duffy let loose an unexpected wail on "Concrete & Feathers," their voice twisting to an anguished howl. On their first few releases, Duffy had mostly sung in a hushed voice over intimate, introspective indie rock. But on their third album, they took bolder turns, occasionally bursting into instrumental catharsis-and pushing their singing to newly commanding territory.

Solaris is a mesmerizing journey driven by shimmering, trance-inspired chords and a razor-sharp bassline, all anchored by braev's haunting and powerful vocals.
