Fixin to Thrill

Fixin to Thrill is the sonic equivalent of a neon sign flickering in a dark alley: it is bright, artificial, and possesses a dangerous edge. Emerging at the tail end of the bloghouse era, the album captures a specific moment in pop history where the lines between indie cool and mainstream dance floor accessibility were completely blurred. Martina Sorbara’s vocals are the secret weapon here, delivering lines with a mixture of playground-taunt sass and genuine melodic power that keeps the listener on their toes. It is music for people who find traditional pop too sweet and industrial music too cold.
