...single burst. "Very often, the demo is the final song you hear on the record," she says. "It's direct and honest." But these are demos, one should add, that benefit from the luscious mastering of London-based Mandy Parnell, who has previously worked with Leslie Feist, Sigur Rós and Depeche Mode. And besides, Wong has ambitions that go beyond her computer's minimalist bleeps. She dreams of performing one day "with a full band and orchestra," rendering her work in nondigital form and living up to her stage name at last...

At the 3:29 mark, light drum hits set up a truly breath-taking vocalization of deceptively simple words: “You had me worried/so...
