Stricken City’s tale of Lost Art selects 80s pop persona with which to nestle itself snugly into your headspace, with warm fidgety basslines, airtight drumming, and neat, optimistic guitar lines.
In the effortlessly cool Rebekah Rah, Stricken City have a frontlady who assumes the attention stealing chic of Debbie Harry, and safely leads Lost Art through the stomping indie-pop battlefield without even breaking a sweat.
With an unpretentiously simple structure providing the skeleton for wiry, playful guitar hooks, Lost Art is well arranged, and very likeable, and will no doubt add to the growing number of people talking about these Londoners. They have cool t-shirts too.
