Bec Sandridge has a great sense of style. From the rich, echoing vocals and colourful synths to the danceable rhythms and little flourishes of musical eccentricity, Sandridge has really mastered her chosen hybrid of '80s pop and post-punk.

To her considerable credit, her latest EP manages to explore several distinct explorations on that theme. There's no mistaking the percolating grooves of You're A Fucking Joke or the cool punk rush of In The Fog, In The Flame or the swaggering heartbreak of High Tide. Sandridge's songwriting and sound are both strong enough that they can be contorted into many different permutations without even coming close to breaking.

But, one can't help but long for something a little more distinctive or vulnerable. As it stands, In The Fog feels like a beautifully packaged product, but the songs don't really have the hooks or humanity to really affect a listener. There are hints, of course. The spiralling acoustic guitars of closer I Keep Running Back, for instance, provide a brief glimpse of something that is as genuinely evocative as it is colourfully impressive. The aforementioned High Tide strikes similar notes, at times. However, the record still feels mostly like a well-crafted tribute. It's undoubtedly enjoyable. One just hopes Sandridge digs a little deeper into her own creative expression on future releases. The potential is definitely there.
