April 16, 20223 yr The guardian *** review with the tagline "absurdist delights and damp squibs" pretty much sums up my feelings for them. Chaise Longue and Too Late Now are both incredible but everything else is just ok and I find myself only listening a few times before not going back to them again. I'll probably give the album a listen at some point but it's not something I'm bothered about hearing. They're going to be absolutely massive but I have to say I don't quite get it Then again I don't get why any indie band who've got "big" in the last 5+ years have done so really, Fender, Catfish, Sea Girls etc. all sound bang average to me. Absolutely this.
April 16, 20223 yr Whilst the album had hit #1, they've also gained their first official charts entry with Chaise Longue landing at #74 this week
May 11, 20223 yr 'Being In Love' and 'Piece Of Shit' are the clear standouts of the album tracks for me (the latter hitting me with the guitar catnip so I am obligated to stan), I also really like 'Ur Mum'. It's all a bit of a mixed bag on the whole though, a couple of the singles were relative duds for me and a couple of the album tracks are a bit on the boring side which doesn't feel like it should be an issue for them but it somehow is. Still, I really liked about half of the album and I'm still mostly just relieved that it wasn't 12 carbon copies of 'Chaise Longue', interested to see how they progress from this as I think they have the potential to make a much better album than this one.
May 12, 20223 yr i heard 'chaise lounge' on the radio the other day... fantastic song. they remind me of this Australian band.
June 14, 20223 yr It would appear that 'Being In Love' is the next single as it makes its way on to 6 Music's A List this week nou4Wn-_uEo
June 16, 20223 yr However, Wet Dream has been playlisted by Radio X and receiving spot plays on Radio 1 so maybe they're going with that (again)
June 16, 20223 yr Doesn’t surprise me, I’ve been seeing bits of Harry Styles’ cover from the Live Lounge on TikTok frequently.

June 20, 20223 yr Seems they are going with Wet Dream then. A similar situation happened with Chaise Longue and Angelica where the latter was added to 6 Music's playlist over the actual track being pushed.
June 20, 20223 yr I saw them at the Isle of Wight Festival yesterday. It was a great set and they had an absolutely massive crowd!
July 1, 20222 yr 'Wet Dream' has now become their second Top 100 single as it enters today at #84. It was also added to HHUK today, so hopefully it can make its way up the chart!
