Pink Vinyl
15Love, the Danish imprint home also to ML Buch and Raisa K amongst others, is really starting to make a name for itself in the realms of contemporary leftfield pop, and that hot streak continues here with the debut album by Pink Must, the new project of Lynn Avery and more eaze's Mari Rubio. Though the group are situated in New York, they're evidence of the migratory qualities of the CPH+ sound, possessed of that same warped, lo-fi pop song writing and bedroom post-production manipulations that characterises the current Danish underground. It's telling that Pink Must initially began as a remote 'grunge collaboration', as they display a clear interest in the downer song of that era (the bio says PJ Harvery, I'm saying Alice in Chains), and then manipulate that interest in ways that sound very Dean Blunt adjacent, but with added auto-tune (itself a more eaze trademark) and shuffling trip hop beats. It's as of the moment as anything else we've heard in quite some time (Officer John accepted), and shows 15Love as keen purveyors of the zeitgeist. If you've missed out on what that is, here's not a bad place to start a catch up.
FFO: Dean Blunt, more eaze, Naemi, Officer John, Bianca Scout
