Albums I’ve been listening to through lockdown 
(And why you should too)
(And why you should too)
Sorry - 925
I think this is a v strong debut. Mix of tracks with a solid alt-pop/rock infused sound throughout and I love the female vocalists’ accented voice. Really well produced; ‘edgy’ tunes teenage me would’ve loved. Reminds me of early Wolf Alice
Favs: Heather, Ode To Boy

Tennis - Yours Conditionally
I am obsessed w Tennis right now but this album is my fave. Soft melancholy pop rock; I feel like I’m in a 90’s film just listening to this LP. Showcases their sound the best imo, smooth n calming tunes!!
Favs: Modern Woman, My Emotions Are Blinding

Faye Webster - Atlanta Millionaires Club
Simple, folk inspired acoustic pop with a lovely voice. Incredibly well written seeming to hit on current themes in the lyrics- “I should get out more” & “I want my time back.” Soundtrack to my life rn.
Favs: Room Temperature, Kingston

Do Nothing - Zero Dollar Bill (EP)
Just my music taste to a T; indie band ! Loved ‘Handshakes’ as a single & I think this follows up as great debut EP. Excited for more from them. But it begs the question: “Would you pay food money for a dinner w Lebron James?”
Fav: New Life

Billie Marten - Feeding Seahorses by Hand
Loved this album all year but I’ve been re-listening a lot as it feels like a soft hug. Amazing songwriting, indie folk and her voice is just the prettiest, so light it’s eery & woeful.
Favs: Blood is Blue, Vanilla Baby, Cartoon People

Matt Maltese - Bad Contestant
A blend of upbeat piano tunes and existential ballads. His songwriting is perfect everytime, charismatic like chatting w a mate but also as blunt and bleak as reading his private journal. Album of the MOMENT!
Favs: Greatest Comedian, Nightclub Love

Fiona Apple: Fetch the Bolt Cutters
Only released a few days ago, but I’m in love. First time hearing an album of hers - incredible writing, amazing delivery, & the production - Fiona where have you been all my life? Couldn’t have come at a better time.
Favs: Newspaper, Ladies

Okey Dokey - Tell All Your Fried
Classic and fun, easy-listening bedroom pop similar to Mac and Twin Peaks. Came across this in my discover weekly and it does embody all I love in soft rock/pop.
Favs: Hometown, Modern Chemistry

Rina Sawayama - SAWAYAMA
Another brand new release I’m just obsessed with. An electric debut in these dull times. Embodies the bold, fun and heavy pop of the 00’s we’ve all been yearning for whilst remaining unique and modern.. just yes.
Favs: Paradisin’, Who’s Gonna Save U Now

Foxygen - Seeing Other People
Another revisit - recommended by a random friend of a friend, but I love their sound; garage, 70’s rock/ alternative pop. Really great production with themes of loneliness and growing apart, but make it funky.
Favs: Work, The Thing Is

Fenne Lily - On Hold
Ah, another female singer-songwriter. This album blissfully transports next back to 2018 - like a comfort blanket, but a sad one. She tears into your sadness disguised with a beautiful voice. Has the best breakup songs.
Favs: Top to Toe, More Than You Know
