infectious tunes wrapped around liberated, sans-bullshit lyricism suggest this post-punk pop singer is an anti-star in the making.

the fierce, funny, outspoken force of nature who hails from Melton Mowbray has arrived to rattle cages. The songs on her debut album all come from a place of defiance. Rebellion against Brexit. Against soul-sapping, dead-end jobs and zero-hours contracts. Against gender inequality, sexual harassment and festivals with obligatory female acts hidden in the small print. Musically, there are snatches of Nick Cave’s rumbling sprechgesang; the “off-the-wall-ness of musicians like Captain Beefheart”; Sleaford Mods’ febrile post-punk; the groovesome lofi art-rock of Sonic Youth; and the brassy Americana of Emmylou Harris. What dominates, though, is a feeling of release. Of letting it all out. “like her pals Sleaford Mods the songs are authentic, authoritative and frequently funny” - loud & quiet.
