Pretty In Pink - Pretty In Pink CS

Eight songs of vulnerable, silky D-I-Y pop hits from Claire McCarthy. The home-recording project Pretty In Pink takes a Young Marble Giants-like approach to sparse and intimate tunes.

I'm getting some Xpressway/Mesthetics vibes here (which is a good thing) but not in an manufactured manner (even better). In fact, PiP feels very unburdened from that type of self conscious legacy building. Another winner from Eternal Soundcheck!

Pretty In Pink is the self-titled debut solo album from Claire McCarthy (Heart Beach). 8 songs vented from a Melbourne bedroom in lockdown during a global pandemic. DIY home pop reminiscent of the 2010's Hobart sound with a splash of early Scraps.
