4.0 excellentGene Gol-Jonsson CONTRIBUTOR | April 24th 24

Shopping-related project that quite cleverly puts all those well learnt art-punk twang to a more funky, blues, and laid-back pop song-writing. The result is a hella fun in the way that Shopping is, but with the extra sprinkle of newness that Shopping often lacks so.

4.0 excellentTheManMachine | June 22nd 17

It's apparent approaching the second half of this 10-track debut that tight jangly-twang is surely their comfort schtick, and by the time ender "Getting Old" rolls around it kinda reads your mind. But rarely is their oh so buoyant verve not magnetic or calmly bursting with bustle -- Rachel Aggs and Eilidh Rogers make for a team to be reckoned with, not just through guitar+drummin' finesse but vocal harmonizing/anti-harmonizing as well. Simultaneously betraying each other lyrically but usually good for merging into 'woah's and 'oh's, they honey up deadpan distress in a way that's complex, catchy, and composed. As do the ska-ish horns and obedient handclaps.
