Stepdad - Wildlife Pop

Following up their “Ordinaire” EP, this Michigan-based outfit cranks up the pop factor on “Wildlife Pop”. If you’ve already heard their previous single “My Leather, My Fur, My Nails” (which you’ll find on here as well in a reworked version), you know what you’re in for. Ridiculously slick pop tunes with layers of synths, 80s throwbacks, catchy choruses and a whole lot of falsetto courtesy of vocalist ultramark. Yeah, I’m guessing that’s not the name his mother gave him either.

Okay, so “Pick And Choose” gets a bit too sugary. But if you listen to “Jungles” or “Treasure Hugs”, you’ll find “Wildlife Pop” to be a particularly fun album to spend an afternoon with to get in the mood for that night’s party.
Score: 7 out of 10
