<a href="/tags/ian-sweet">IAN SWEET</a> releases ‘Shiverstruck’ on 24 July, expanding Jilian Medford’s emotionally direct indie rock through songs including ‘Criminal Kissing’, ‘Jilian’ and ‘Silver Screen’. The latter examines restless ambition and the habit of imagining a future version of yourself for whom everything has finally clicked into place.
Unfortunately, that imaginary person is usually unavailable for comment. Medford balances distorted guitar, melodic immediacy and writing that confronts mistakes without turning them into neat lessons.
‘Shiverstruck’ appears interested in resets, identity and the awkward comedy of surviving periods when familiar parts of life begin drifting away. An album-release show in Los Angeles follows on Friday. The future may remain unclear, but at least it has an excellent soundtrack. See more in <a href="/genres/indie-rock">Indie Rock</a>.
