For over a decade Elizabeth Davis assumed the moniker Wilted Woman. This project was a key in bridging DIY subcultures in the United States and Europe both in contribution to sonic development and the subsequent performance events for her communities. Excelling in eclecticism, Wilted Woman’s sonic vocabulary was adept at deflating the self serious posturing found throughout the fields of various electronic music circles while also being pointedly driven, technically advanced, and with a prolific output as a solo artist and collaborator. Davis has been a unicorn artist, highly respected and always a standalone maker through exhaustive shifts in stylistic trends around her. Sometimes this worked to her advantage and sometimes it was isolatory, pressing the Wilted Woman project to weather the ups and downs of being a true contemporary artiste.

The moniker of the Wilted one is, for now, retired but to fill the void of her diehard fanatics (like myself), Rome’s Superpang releases Elizabeth Davis’ latest compact disc. There’s Always a Strawberry Hut collects Davis’ daydreams about new potentials. These daydreams are modulations of scale and length and formally resonate in the work she does on the album. These exercises in reorienting size and shape in audio are akin to the manner by which she reorients her practice, her livelihoods, and her outward positioning as an artist. This album is a brilliantly assertive new chapter to refresh her output from the Wilted era and a sign of the continued dedication to creative exploration that Davis has well tread already.
