There’s a certain insouciance in “Helicopter,” the wry first single from the L.A. electro duo Essay. A bit too defiant of convention to be pop, and too silly lyrically to be punk, it’s the brainchild of Russian-born Renata Raksha and Belgium-bred Peter Moran (ex-Laco$te), who met at an Echo Park gallery and first collaborated on visual art. Which makes sense, and also makes us curious about their first EP, due soon on the Polyamorous Affair’s Winter Palace Records.
