My Best Friend Is You

Pop · 2010 · 13 tracks · 49m

My Best Friend Is You

A sharp pivot from piano-pop to gritty garage rock. Sixties girl-group harmonies collide with distorted guitars and brutally honest London storytelling.

April 19, 2010 · Fiction Records

A restless and defiant mix of retro-pop sweetness and raw, distorted frustration.

Moments Worth Listening For

The sudden shift from sweet 60s pop to abrasive punk shouting in track 4.

The five-minute spoken word monologue in Mansion Song that feels like an accidental eavesdrop.

The way the drums crash into the delicate piano melody on the hidden final track.
