![]() It's not known why the ruins are shrouded in darkness, but unlike other environmental-conditioned locations like Toh Yahsa Shrine, clearance of the Shrine Quest does not remove the permanent darkness status. However, statues and figures seem to be placed grouped right next to each other, implying that they were placed haphazardly, or further implying that the ruins were a depository for the Zonai statues. These ruins are filled to the brim with Zonai statues similar to the ones in the Zonai Ruins. Though they are luminous, Ancient and Elemental weapons other than the rods are not bright enough to be useful inside the ruins. Zumi at the Serenne Stable will mention the ruins when prompted. There are also Fire Rods and other fire weapons available to use. It's encouraged that Link lights them for orientation. The ruins feature several bird-shaped spires whose beaks point Link towards the general path leading to the Ketoh Wawai Shrine. The veil of darkness begins in the middle of the bog, well before the visual limit of the dome. The ruins can be paraglided into, but the sudden cover of darkness may completely disorient the player upon landing. They're surrounded by a bog, so they can't be accessed to by swimming. What to buy: The Poster Girl EP is released on 29 July by Night Beach.įile next to: SZA, Jhené Aiko, Kid A, Cassie.The Thyphlo Ruins are completely shrouded in darkness, and they can only be accessed/exited from the west or by teleporting away. The truth: Meet our new favourite R&B ghost-poetess. The buzz: "The best new thing to happen in R&B." How's she going to appear – as a hologram? She makes her live debut on 31 July at London's Sebright Arms. We'd call it tantalising, but that suggests this music could be fleshed out, improved upon, when really it's perfect as it is. ![]() Last Winter is a classic of dejected electronica where love is a subset of a broader feeling of estrangement. "Baby, just take a sip," she invites, sounding like an enervated Rihanna or a Beyoncé minus the sense of entitlement. By track two, Coca Cola Classic, we're hooked. The beats are heavy, the voice/production combo heady: we're sure we read her describe what she does on one website as "sex, drugs and dubstep". On Hotel Miami, a lead track from her forthcoming Poster Girl EP (spoiler alert: she didn't quit the biz after all), she offers to play a hooker just for one night in her lover's luxury suite – so consumed is she not by desire, but by a desperation not to be alone, even if the man in question isn't to be trusted. But more than anything we like to think of her as a breakaway character from an Abel Tesfaye song who gets her own show. She has recorded a cover of Nancy Sinatra's Bang Bang over Mobb Deep's Shook Ones Pt 2, a useful précis of her project. It's her work on a series of mixtapes with Andrew Dawson (the Weeknd Kanye West Tyler, the Creator), 4AD's A$AP Rocky collaborator Spaceghostpurrp, and Def Jam's Benny Cassette that defines her. "The sacrifice of being a star," she declared, "isn't worth my normalcy." Rather, she was leaving the music business to pursue other interests (photography and design), discouraged by the trends to "mimic. It wasn't that she was committing suicide – although you could have been forgiving for assuming as much from the letter. She nearly absented herself and disappeared from view last December when, in an "open letter" to her fans, she wrote that her "long road" was "coming to an end". This idea of Finister – the woman with the spectral coo – as little more than a ghost isn't just fancy. But Finister is effecting some kind of apotheosis with her exquisite blown beats, ethereal production, and a series of evanescent whispers that only vaguely fall under the rubric "singing": it's not full-bodied but empty, drained less a voice than a void. Cassie, of course, was moving in this direction a few years ago. In her hands, it stands for "ravished and blue". ![]() The background: Like SZA, Jhené Aiko and Kid A, Phlo Finister is remaking R&B, divesting it of its aerobic thrust and projected passion.
