Pizzagirl

Pizzagirl sounds like the sonic equivalent of a VHS tape found in the back of a thrift store, containing both a high-energy aerobics workout and a deeply personal video diary. The music is built on a foundation of shimmering 80s-inspired synthesizers, programmed drum machines that hit with a charmingly rigid precision, and guitars that are perpetually soaked in chorus and reverb. It is bright and colorful on the surface, but there is a distinct layer of lo-fi grit that keeps it grounded in the modern bedroom-pop tradition.

What truly sets Liam Brown apart is his ability to balance irony with genuine vulnerability. One moment he is channeling the kitschy energy of a retro television host, and the next he is delivering a melody so earnest it catches you off guard. The production is intentionally 'flatpack' and DIY, giving the songs a tactile, intimate quality that feels like a secret shared between the artist and the listener. It is pop music that acknowledges its own artifice while still aiming straight for the heart.

Start with 'An Extended Play' to hear the foundational sound of the project, specifically the track 'Carseat'. From there, move to 'First Timer' for a more polished take on his neon-drenched aesthetic. If you find yourself drawn to the darker, more electronic side of his work, 'softcore mourn' offers a compelling evolution into more moody, European-influenced textures.
