A lot has happened since Hot As Sun released the blissful electro-pop debut “Night Time Sound Desire” in 2013. Deborah Stoll moved to the Other Coast and left the trio. Lead singer Jamie Jackson and bandmate/husband Waz became parents (congrats and nice to meet you, Ruby Louise). And during her pregnancy, Jackson wrote and recorded a new EP, appropriately titled “Little Friend,” which will be out in 2016. The EP was produced by James Bairian and Louis Castle — aka The Gifted, with whom Jackson had collaborated on a late-2013 single — and features the guitar work Seth Kauffman (Lana Del Rey, Ray Lamontagne). The single “I Can Feel Your Love” has the snapping percussion and the playful melody of the material on the full-length, although not the winking subversiveness that invited us to, affectedly, “Dahnce to the Beat.” Newly earnest, reliably catchy, still drenched by the sun.
