After its initial string of records, Spring Theory is back with its third release of the year: The record is Let Me Love & Steal, the latest EP from Avalon Emerson. In the past few months, Emerson has moved from San Francisco to Berlin and has taken in her new environment's vibrant club culture, and it shows. But this four-tracker is a far cry from the dark industrial clichés that typify foreign expectations of the German capital. Instead, her cuts here carry an undertone of playful sampling that balance out the sheer power and energetic intensity of her rhythmic drive — aka it's a full EP's worth of hard-hitting house music with even more of her idiosyncratic flair.
