TINH happening is officially 60 episodes old. Happy 60th to us.

We’re missing a team member again this month. David is back and in the hot seat, Guy is off making beautiful memories with his family. 

In Part 1, we review and Album of the Month. This month it’s Davide’s choice and he’s picked Moisturizer, the sophomore release from Wet Leg, British Post-Punk, Post-Pop band that were previously catapulted to fame by their break out single Chaise Longue. Tune in to find out what we all thought.

In Part 2, we play Spin It or Bin It, we pick a theme and all pick songs that represent that theme. This month the theme is ‘English With An Accent’. 

                                   —– Part 1 | Wet Leg | Moisturizer  —–

Wet Leg, AKA ‘that Chaise Longue band’ started their career with a bang. Their first single Chaise Longue became a global hit and created a massive amount of attention. Could they ever break the curse of being a novelty, one hit wonder band …? Well, yes is the simple answer. Their first album proved that (partially) but this second album smashes that idea out the park. Listen to the episode for more detail but there’s a lot of positivity about this one.

Listen to the album, listen to the pod, tell us what you think. Here are some links that we mention on the pod or think could be useful to explore;

                     —– Part 2 | Spin It or Bin It | ‘English With An Accent —–

The theme this month is English With An Accent. Simple. Artists singing in English but with an acent.

• Nolan chose – Hate To Say I Told You So by The Hives.
• David chose – Not Any Longer by The Lijadu Sisters.
• Guy chose – Music Sounds Better With You by Stardust.
• Joey chose – Keep The Streets Empty For Me by Fever Ray.
