My favorite EP of 2017. Indie pop is kinda my thing right now. Blood Brothers is my favorite track despite Adore being the more well known single
I think theacademy might dig this?

Nice review man. Been enjoying this one recently as well although I do cringe at a lyric here and there

thx scream
Yeah I sort of felt that way at first too, but just fell in love with it. It has such an energetic, youthful feel to it that the lyrics match perfectly
|

It's mostly little things that take what could be a cute innocent, little love song and make it seem like she might have some jealousy issues to work through (the bridge in Adore kind of gives me that vibe a little and then lines like "And I hate every girl who's ever known you" in Weekend does that too). I agree it's got a certain adolescent quality to it but I can't just forget that she's in her 30s and singing this haha
It's doesn't take away enough that I can't enjoy the songs (this is probably actually closer to a 3.5 than 3) but I can't say I'd want to date a girl like that anymore

Yeah I can see where you're coming from man haha. But it's just so damn catchy, and I'm not taking the lyrics too seriously. If I want some more intellectually stimulating lyrisism I'll go elsewhere, but this feels sort of perfect for what it is: carefree, addicting pop music

I'm known as a right-hand slugger, anybody else wanna touch my lover?
Thanks for covering this, was so surprised to see it on the front page.

glad to hear it Willie, I haven't been able to get these songs out of my head
@Blush, cheers man! My pleasure. I know this is basically a glorified soundoff, but those are fun sometimes with EPs like this
by the way I'm curious to hear what everyone's favorite songs are. Am I the only one that thinks Blood Brothers is potentially the best?

Admittedly not two words that would typically go together ha, but I thought it made sense with this album. Or are u referring to certain allegations?!
And cheers man! I've actually been staff for like 2 years :]
EDIT: I tweaked the summary. It was starting to irk me since Im sorta ADD...way to go 🔑

Blood Brothers, Adore and Weekend are songs that were overplayed on the local radiostation, but I suppose that's a fault of just how catchy they are, and I think any of them are contender for best on this. I'm partial to Adore, I think, but that little refrain before the chorus on Blood Brothers is too good.
Doc says, "Girl, take one pill," and you whisper, "double that, double that."

Yeah, I love that part as well! I don't think she's on the radio where I'm from so they don't feel overplayed to me yet thankfully:] Just caught wind of this EP about 2 weeks ago

Flew under my (meticulously tuned) radar, gotta check this out. Seems like a good intro to her music.

Hope u enjoy it Dewi!! This is much more pop-oriented than what I (and probably you) usually dig, but I find it quite addicting
|
| |
Nah I usually dig this kind of pop. Actually there are a couple of pop albums in my top 10 this year.
That said, this is actually pretty good, just 2 tracks in.
|

Wow I am loving this

The "right hand slugger" line is painfully embarrassing. The rest of this ep is about on par with a Lisa Mitchell release.
