Newcastle-based newcomer Melanie Baker is “Bored.”

But listeners to her new breakup anthem are not. That contradiction is due, in large part, to the keen, alt-indie craftsmanship of this burgeoning creative.

Having just announced debut project Somebody Help Me, I’m Being Spontaneous! [out Apr. 10], she follows with this second such preview (after “Sad Clown”) and strikes while the iron is hot. Cheeky in nature, a wry vocal treatment plays off riff-rizz’d rhythms only to give way to a fizzy, wall-of-sound rush in the chorus leaving this listen to loom large in the sonic sphere.
