“...the most impressive aspect of the album, however, is Cashell’s ability to balance sunny nostalgia with listless melancholy.”
Jangle, fuzz, and fizzing hooks: Red Cavalry writhe with infectious jangly indie-pop energy and McCarthy-style lyrical agitation on Popaganda, while Baby Combat collates fuzzy, hook-led guitar songs with nervous energy and a scrappy post-punk edge across a brilliant double album. Cashell balances sunny nostalgia with listless melancholy on the lo-fi yet inviting If, By Chance, Estranged…, and Zenxith delivers stacks of jangly DIY lofi indie-pop on his deeply personal 20th album. The Freebies splice 60s girl-group charm with indie-punk grit and Velvet Underground-tinged twilight moments on their inventive self-titled debut.
