Pairs Well With… Pure Batching Culture, SOAK, Barrie

Liverpool based experimental-pop trio Stealing Sheep’s 2019 album Big Wows lives up to the name. These women are having a great time and it radiates from the albums eleven tracks. They sing with beautiful power pop harmonies on the opening track Show Love over glittering disco infused production. Their songs are catchy and fun, perfect for a trip to the beach or a night out with friends. On Jokin’ Me the trio launch you into a synth heavy joyful dream world away from computers, the video for the song is a joyous mix of MS Paint and glitchy 90's computer imagery. The group’s joyful pop is a welcome retreat from the tedium of daily life. (Nate Headden)
