[album] Dancer – 10 Songs I Hate About You

acute.pop

Seamlessly weaving together the raw energy of post-punk, shimmering melodies of jangle pop, and the introspective lyricism of indie rock, 10 Songs I Hate About You by Dancer stands as one of the best debuts we heard recently.

Formed just at the end of 2022 and with two great EPs under their belt already, this Glasgow quartet quickly became a cult underground outfit with a distinctive style and charming personality. And on the LP they double down on everything that makes them great and manage to create their best release so far.

All songs here are great, be that an ultra-catchy and sweet “Change”, surreal “When I Was A Teenage Horse”, playful ripper “Make a Decision”, or the meditative “Passionate Sunday”. Jangly guitar riffs intertwine with pulsating rhythms, creating a sonic tapestry that feels just right.

[ep] Dancer – Dancer

The dancing process for Dancer, a band from Glasgow, is something sharp, groovy, and sometimes even slightly rock ‘n’ roll-ish. Proof of this is the group’s debut EP of the same name, a set of six songs, each of which represents Dancer in a different way.

Where the opening number “Disposable Vape” is replete with ringing math rock guitars, “Ferret Fancier” emphasizes the dirty and unpolished sound of the good old punk. However, despite the stylistic variations, all the songs are united by the common feeling of avant-garde pop music, as if by a lucky chance we managed to get a ticket to someone’s secret and truly spectacular show.
