Listen / buy here!
While I still long for a Streight Angular record that captures their early, shitkicking live shows, After and Before is a ton of fun: brilliantly sunny, packed with pure pop touchstones, girl group taptaps, call-and-response-ready chantalongs, and 90's-swirled on-and-on-and-on raveups via REM via Swervedriver. It feels like a band overflowing GBV-style with ideas, letting them pour out on tap, with a looseness that suggests they've got plenty more to draw on. Even the angsty sneering rings conspiratorial, a love letter to people in their 30's in the 2010's, looking for that feeling, swinging for it again and again and again 3.5/5
