So Young records unleash the debut album from London's Folly Group, and it is instant and startling. Their two EP's from 2021 on So Young and 2002 on Technicolour / Ninja Tunes wet the appetite, but now comes the main course. Drawing from post-punk, dub, hip-hop, electronic dance music and traditional Afro-Cuban rhythms, Folly Group have established themselves amongst UK experimental rock's new leading lights. Marrying open-hearted lyricism with furiously inventive self-production, this bracing, complex record lends a genuinely original voice to a familiar theme: alienation in modern Britain.
