Spectrum Culture

PopMatters

The love and loneliness that come with queerness
'Gut' is one of the most unique listens I had in a long time. Take the nostalgia from Youth Lagoon, the sonic experimentation of Kieran J Callinan, the queerness and lyrical honesty of Perfume Genius and also some production that really reminded me of The 1975 circa 'A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships' - and you get an album that comes a bit closer to whatever this is. Gutwrenching songwriting with lyrics that hit like ... read more
