Though not Stock/Aitken/Waterman levels of uniformity, there’s a definite consistency with sound/production in the Dirty Hit gang. Landing in the space occupied by the more wistful 1975 or Pale Waves moments, the new one from BFL is, accordingly, not as original as previous outings, but still offers much of the pop ladened hooks and quality control expected from the label’s output. Centered around piano-based pop (weirdly recalling Gary Barlow compositions from 95-98) Some Things sparkles when kept minimal (God’s Best, Moon landing hoax, Some things Break) or the Damien Rice influenced folk-pop of New York and Spokane,Washington. An album offering lovely, mature, compositions from an artist intent on speaking their truth. Dirty Hit keep on trucking.
