Album Review: The Preatures - Is This How You Feel?

They’re going to be massive.

More The Preatures The Preatures

With the hype surrounding them, and their irritating precocious youth and beauty, I so wanted to hate The Preatures. And then they have the hide – to be effortlessly, coolly, frighteningly fucking tops with it. There's the jittery funk of the title track, the rolling insistence of Dark Times, and that slinky glide of Manic Baby. Megan Washington called that tune 'sexy as fuck' on the Tweety the other day, and who am I to disagree? Largely 'cause I can't think of many better descriptors. They're going to be massive.
