Our Take

In their debut album "Sitting Pretty," ACADEMIC brings a refreshing mix of indie rock and pop that leaves listeners feeling as satisfied as a full English breakfast. From the opening track "Different" to the closing anthem "Acting My Age," this album is a rollercoaster of emotions, guaranteed to have you simultaneously tapping your foot and wiping away a tear.

Lead vocalist Craig Fitzpatrick's distinctive voice soars over catchy guitar riffs and infectious drumbeats, creating a sound that is uniquely their own. The band's tight harmonies and clever lyrical wordplay add an extra layer of depth to each song, making it impossible not to sing along.

Tracks like "Permanent Vacation" and "Mixtape 2003" showcase the band's ability to effortlessly blend nostalgic 80s vibes with a modern twist, transporting listeners to a simpler time when mixtapes were still a thing and perms were all the rage.

However, it's not all sunshine and rainbows on "Sitting Pretty." ACADEMIC delves into darker themes on songs like "Superlike" and "Fear" that explore the complexities of love and self-doubt. But fear not, dear listener, for even in their darkest moments, the band manages to infuse a sense of hope and resilience that is truly uplifting.

In conclusion, ACADEMIC's "Sitting Pretty" is a must-listen for anyone craving a bit of nostalgia with a fresh twist. Whether you're dancing in your bedroom or contemplating life's deepest mysteries, this album has something for everyone. So sit back, relax, and let ACADEMIC take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget. Cheers!

About the artist

The Academic

Hailing from the whimsical streets of West London, ACADEMIC is a musical enigma wrapped in a quirky bow tie. With a voice that dances between soulful croons and playful falsettos, ACADEMIC's sound is as distinct as his polka dot socks. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Prince, Bowie, and Elton John, ACADEMIC's music is a delicious fusion of retro funk and modern pop sensibilities. From the infectious grooves of "Disco Ballad" to the poignant storytelling of "Rainbow Connection," ACADEMIC's music is a rollercoaster ride of emotions and melodies. But ACADEMIC is more than just a talented musician; he's also a style icon in his own right. With a penchant for vintage suits and oversized sunglasses, ACADEMIC's fashion sense is as bold and fearless as his music. And let's not forget his signature move - the ukulele solo that never fails to charm audiences and critics alike. With a string of sold-out shows and a dedicated fanbase, ACADEMIC is poised to take the music world by storm. So, grab your glitter and get ready to dance - because ACADEMIC is here to shake up the music scene like never before.
