Olivia Rodrigo occupies an interesting spot in our collective consciousness — she is both young and of the moment but also a keen observer and interpolator of classic tropes from the past four decades of pop music. It’s a heady mix that has made the California native one of the biggest stars on Earth, capable of internet-shattering virality seconds after talking about Bikini Kill with someone from a broadsheet newspaper. Basically, she’s an ideal candidate for the latest edition of Blueprints, our ongoing series that pulls apart the backstories of interesting writers to see what makes them tick.

However you choose to label them — ​​electroclash, bloghaus, indie sleaze, French touch — Justice remain one of the most celebrated electronic acts this side of the millennium thanks to the way they have managed to bridge the gap between being indie favourites and huge stars.

Full of Hell are a restless creative force. Across more than 30 releases — including five LPs — the Maryland noisemakers’ pulverising approach to grindcore has continued to expand and warp. With their sixth album ‘Coagulated Bliss’, they further cement their status as modern extreme music legends.

Annie Clark has become an indie-rock mainstay since the release of the first St. Vincent record in 2007, but her appeal has always bled beyond genre boundaries. In the years since then, her work has straddled arthouse pop, psychedelia and glam-rock, with each of her albums subsequently feeling like an event in their own right.

The Zutons, it turns out, don’t do comebacks by halves. After breaking up back in 2009, they came out of the carbonite in 2019 to tour their 2004 debut ‘Who Killed...... The Zutons?’. But one question that hangs over any such endeavour is whether nostalgia might be answered by something new. In their case the answer is yes — ‘The Big Decider’ is their first album in 16 years. Which leads us to another question: does the world need another indie rock band back from the brink?
