I’m well aware that I tend to lean on cockeyed comparisons when describing music I like, but I can’t help it. That’s simply how I wrap my understanding around songs that tickle their fingers merrily across buttons I didn’t even know I had. So when I assert that “Obsessed,” the new single from Australian singer-songwriter Hatchie, sounds like what might result if Carly Rae Jepsen quickly made a track after a year in isolation listening to nothing but Lone Justice and vintage New Order, it is an act of lovestruck admiration. It might not be what you hear (I mean, how could it be?), but I swear that delightful and orthodox algebraic baffler is precisely what’s coming into my ears.

Of course, there are other simpler ways to describe the new Hatchie single. It’s a pure delight. I think that suffices.
