INDIE ROCK
It’s an album full of small songs about big feelings, and in scope and sound, it’s closer to the original C86 source material than any of the twee-revival records that I’ve heard in recent years. The songs aren’t lo-fi, exactly, but they have an analog warmth that helps them stand out. And leader Poppy Hankin’s lyrics are direct to the point of near-artlessness, which of course is what makes them artful: “You’re so cool / Dunno what I’d do / If you say, ‘I like you, too.'” But for all the echoes of scenes past, Earl Grey never sounds like the work of revivalists. Instead, it’s almost like these young women have immersed themselves completely in the same music that inspired the original C86 bands.
