“You’re so boring / You’re so normal” spits Rebekah Rae on this this extraordinary mini album that feels like the innocence of youth mixed with the cold indifference of unrequited love over a glass of brandy.
Stricken City, emerging from the rubble of riot grrl and britpop triumphantly bring something fresh and exciting to modern music with their enthusiasm, snappy poetic lyrics and, unlike other art bands, a warm welcoming heart which has already melted everyone who bought a copy of their limited 7inch late last year.
Within 24 minutes it’s all over, and about as thrilling as anything you will hear this year. This is music of a different class.
