WEIRDO

‘WEIRDO’, is Carla J. Easton’s defiant pop album released via Olive Grove Records with support from PRS Foundations Women Make Music. Bandcamp Daily described as “all volume needles buried in the red, glitter bursting from every chorus” whilst The Line of Best Fit and Pitchfork praised its “maximalist” tendencies hinting that Scotland has found its own answer to pop titans Carly Rae Jepsen and Taylor Swift. The album features appearances from Honeyblood’s Stina Tweeddale, Micah Erenberg and Stanley Odd’s Dave Hook, though the result is always a sound that is uniquely Easton’s own. This is a pop record for misfits.
