In case you missed it, I quite like cheekboned R&B siren Banks, and her peculiar brand of haunted doompop.

After what seems like an interminable wait, her debut album has finally been given a title (Goddess) and a release date (9 September, 2014), which is 19 WHOLE WEEKS AWAY.

A gerbil could get pregnant and give birth four times in 19 weeks. I trust Banks's album will be at least as good as four litters of gerbil babies, or else there will be hell to pay.

In the meantime, here is the title track, as premiered earlier on the NPR website. It features the borderline-irritating couplet "she was a goddess, he should have got this" but manages to be magnificent anyway.
