After studying music composition for film and theater productions at Paul McCartney's Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts, Hannah Peel began working on a production of the Brothers Grimm story The Almond Tree. In the midst of this project, she became obsessed with an antique windup music box, which she would sample and loop. These fairytale tones serve as her main accompaniment on this arresting little Rebox EP, starting with the opening cover of Cocteau Twins’ “Sugar Hiccup,” where deep rumbling bass drones play like enormous cellos as Peel’s pretty voice and crystalline phrasing makes sense out of Elizabeth Fraser’s previously indecipherable lyrics. On her playful renditions of Soft Cell’s “Tainted Love” and OMD’s “Electricity,” the music-box notes are her only backup, save for some multitracked vocals that deviate from novelty to reveal a woman with an otherworldly voice. She leaves us with a haunted-dollhouse version of New Order’s household hit “Blue Monday.”
