My Best Friend Is You

Kate Nash

A sharp pivot from piano-pop to gritty garage rock. Sixties girl-group harmonies collide with distorted guitars and brutally honest London storytelling.

It's like a 60s girl group started a riot in a London basement.

A restless and defiant mix of retro-pop sweetness and raw, distorted frustration.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden shift from sweet 60s pop to abrasive punk shouting in track 4.
The five-minute spoken word monologue in Mansion Song that feels like an accidental eavesdrop.
The way the drums crash into the delicate piano melody on the hidden final track.
