Sydney, Australia's Holy Balm trio jack out a heat-warped LP of avant-dance songs for Not Not Fun. 'It's You' feels like dance music that's been made in a hot country. It's got a faded, sun-bleached quality and drunk-in-the-afternoon sloppiness that's entirely endearing to our tastes. Their synth melodies are always prone to slipping saltily off-key and the beats are basically functional - lumpy kicks and squirmy, acidic synth pop bass - ridden with alluring nonchalance by Anna John in a hybrid of basement minimal wave and '90s dance pop memes. Repetitive, hypnotic, lo-fi and pebbledashed with off-the-cuff hooks, imagine Design A Wave jamming with Maria Minerva and Peaking Lights and you're very close to Holy Balm's sound.
