Don’t you just love it when you discover a banger of an album from an artist you’ve never heard of AND they’re doing a CONCERT in a city near you THIS Friday? Sometimes there’s a reason in being alive after all.

Nothing has tickled my brain this much since SOPHIE’s ‘product.’ Seriously, songs like Sugar Water Cyanide and Tears in My Pocket blew my fucking mind. The album will be on repeat, and tour tickets will be secured.
