Cologne-based vocalist Yvonne Cornelius shapes and shifts her “tongue sounds” into knots when she’s twiddling the knobs for Niobe. The most striking tracks on her new album, White Hats (Tomlab), bend Cornelius’ voice so that it’s darting and wandering around barely-there beats and snaps; “Phosphorous” uses a lonely guitar as its counterpoint, while “Give All To Love” piles Cornelius’ vocals into its own percussive accompaniment.
