EP Review: Pizzagirl – Season 2
Pizzagirl – season 2
Words: Megan Berridge
Pizza seems to always be delivered by a male courier. Actually, hang on, this applies to most takeaway food services. Ordered a Chinese? Yep, that’s a man knocking at the door. Fancy an Indian? Great! Another opportunity to have a man on your doorstep.
Let’s be honest, feminism aside, I think we’d all be a bit surprised if a woman turned up at our door. So anyway, this artist from Liverpool, Pizzagirl, definitely has a man’s voice. And oh my, what a lovely man’s voice it is.
Somehow, he manages to capture in his vocal the soft crunch of stepping onto untouched snow and the velvet thickness and chocolatey richness of a steamy mug of hot chocolate. Sound good? Good because you can hear a lot of it in his new EP ‘season 2’.
This EP is sixfold with each song bestowing a different mood like a pinwheel. Glassy washes of synth are accented with cosmic, twinkling electric piano, like stars childishly peeking out from behind clouds. Brisk drums thump in uniform. These sounds weave together, a different pattern for every song, forming the intimate, sonic make up of this high-school prom/’I love you’ mixtape EP.
‘season 2’ is aurally kaleidoscopic and tenderly romantic with that oh so heavenly voice which, like gravity, pulling everything together.
