Pretenders II

Pretenders

Shimmering new wave melodies colliding with a jagged, cynical edge. A sophisticated, late-night rock record defined by street-smart swagger and melodic precision.

A sophisticated blend of street-smart defiance and late-night melodic melancholy.

Moments Worth Listening For
The shimmering, melancholic guitar arpeggios that open Talk of the Town, creating an immediate sense of urban longing.
The aggressive, staccato vocal delivery and biting lyrical wit during the bridge of Pack It Up.
The way the bassline in Jealous Dogs creates a tense, prowling atmosphere that never quite resolves.
