The Seoul-based indie pop duo lean deeper into the interplay between dance and emotion on their second album for Beeline Records. Bandcamp... Album of the Day Aug 31, 2023
As the album surges from one genre to another, it's held together by the emotional urgency of Mia Berrin's vocals. It hits all the harder as it juxtaposes pop with riot grrl grunge, each shift accentuating the emotion that drives the whole album. There are stunning moments and fun touches, there are retro Easter eggs and romantic flourishes, shredding guitars and delicate strings. It shouldn't work, but it does. It really, really does. It's weird and wild and something special. Christopher Keach
