This is a perfect record for these mid-spring days, watching raindrops race each other down window panes while contemplating what next year will bring.

Every now and then we come across a voice that fills a little part of us that we didn't know was missing. Anita Lester, whom last year put on a huge concert of orchestral Radiohead covers in a disused jail, has had a career steeped in the Melbourne music scene, and Lester The Fierce is her latest project.

Her debut EP, The Summer Deluge, comes out today and is full of tunes that express what is no doubt an incredibly unique talent.

Stunning, eh? Photos by Amelie Scalercio.
