Was tempted to file this along side alongside all the other girl-fronted lo-fi bedroom projects doing the rounds lately, but after repeated listening methinks this deserves its own thread.
Home-spun Estonian narcotic synthpop vibes: dreamy but danceable, and unmistakely H-pop yet without getting too bogged down in nostalgia. I think she's had just a couple of releases on Not Not Fun so far (a CS and a 100% Silk 12"), but there's a full-length on the way this summer, I believe.
Here's my favourite:

Also, I think she goes to Goldsmiths, which adds a nice bit of 'local talent' to this sort of thing for a change. Not that that means anything of course. Zero replies?
