If you pitch Ellie’s voice down it sounds exactly like The Weeknd leading to conspiracy theories that they’re the same person. I’ve always like Ellie but her sound is a little too pop for what I like out of her. She released these two covers between her Lights era and Anything Could Happen and I definitely think we missed out on something special by not embracing this darker trip hop/Indy inspired sound.
the grid thing must have been from that era too - it reminded me of this videoThe opening theme from Sunday night music show Radio With Pictures in 1982 was the instrumental version of Marginal Era - This Heaven. Definitely some New Order style vibes there:

Oh yes. As an aside, I wrote a letter to Karyn Hay after seeing her on something with Sam Hunt, mentioning I didn't realise how short she was. And I received a lovely, hand typed letter back from her - on letterhead paper bearing the same Radio With Pictures logo as in that opening - where she mentioned it wasn't so much that she's short, but Sam Hunt was so tall lol. Wish I'd kept that, actually. Classic.
Also saw her on something once relating to her time at TVNZ's Avalon studios, sneaking off down a corridor to smoke a joint before taping the show. Maybe that's why she was always so deadpan.
