Brilliantly original and fresh post- and dance-punk and electro-pop by the Brighton band with songs about heartbreak and queerness, feminism, vulnerability and gender fluidity, packed with unique sounds, passion and humour. From the post-breakup restlessness of New Boy, the sharp, candid wit and dynamism of the title track that moves between punk and electro-pop (“I’m getting better at talking less shit”) the shimmering guitars and menace of I See My Body Through You, the rhythmic energy of Desire / 1 on 1, the dark thrumming of Only One, the oddball scrapings of Daily Affirmations, the complex, rather beautiful interweaving melodies and driving synths of The Door to closing track I Put My Baby To Sleep, it’s a beautifully oddball and original record.
As charismatic vocalist Annie Dorrett puts it: “Overall, this album embodies our true ethos of self-expression. Equally chaotic and hypnotic, it was meant to be blasted in the car at full volume while you curse your ex, your past ghosts, and you celebrate your cherished independence while you have it.” Out on Venn Records.
