Still hiding and waiting for the fall

Twee pop always walks a bit of a tightrope. Done poorly, it can feel instantly nostalgic–a reference to youthful exuberance that lives far more in our memory than in real life. But done well, there’s a timelessness to it, an expression of innocence that lives on, stubbornly refusing to accede to the slings and arrows of fortune, holding out for the possibility of finding a way to stay present.

Nancy Sin live on the good side of that line. Their music is light and joyful, but with just enough sense of doubt to keep you honest. As they say: “maybe it was just a daydream / but who could know?”

Daydream is from a lovely EP called Fall For You, which came out this summer. Here’s hoping for more from them soon.
