Findlay - The Last Of The 20th Century Girls (2022) [Hi-Res]

The Last of the 20th Century Girls is the storied second album from London-based artist Findlay - a full-fledged offering born of a personal journey that sees her at her most open, transparent, and introspective yet, drawing upon her own personal experiences since the release of full-length 2017 debut Forgotten Pleasures. With complex, fully-realised themes ranging from grief and loss to the struggle of losing and re-building ones confidence, through to the challenges and pitfalls of the past couple of years, all serve to inspire a range of tracks across the album. Mastered by five-time Grammy award winning engineer Antoine Chab Chabert (Daft Punk, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Sebastien Tellier) and self-described as a late coming of age story, drenched in nostalgia, melancholy and the kind of strange experiences only a misunderstood millennial could have; the album effortlessly blends a diverse melting pot of breezy alt-indie, psychedelic pop, dreamy lo-fi chill, indie-rock and expansive cinematic sounds. Its Findlay at her genre-melting finest, and a sharp, tasteful insight into her unique artistic psyche; a perfect representation of her impeccable alternative sound.
