SOMEBODY SAVE ME.
We've been meaning to write about London's FOE for so long it's not even hilarious, but fortunately the British chanteuse writes the kind of haunting torchsongs that refuse to fade with time. Together with her writing partner in crime Entrepeneurs, FOE pens the kind of eerily mesmerizing ballads that recall early Florence & The Machine, before the major label budgets and popstar makeover brought her sound to the masses. "A Handsome Stranger Called Death" is her quintessential track, all funereal synths and doom-and-gloom beats as FOE sings of a brush with death himself: "tall dark and handsome / a cigar in your mouth / a little black dog and the biggest smile".
