North London-based indie pop act The Pink Nostalgia offers up personal, coming-of-age six-track collection Youth & Observation, weaving through themes of relationships, mental health and sexuality within a revitalising soundscape.
Striking a delicate balance between catchy, upbeat instrumentation and reflective and emotional lyrics, each offering on the EP comes to life as a snapshot of an experience laden with nostalgia and introspection.
From the luscious and expansive “Who are you now?,” that delves into past relationships that no longer serve you to the emotive and epic stylings of the anthemic production “It’s Alright,” featuring singer-songwriter, Fran Lusty, which comes to life as an ode to sexuality, the project is stocked with hyper-personal yet comfortingly relatable messages and life experiences.
After an emotional journey reflecting back on the past, final number “Space & Time,” brings things to an upbeat close with its catchy indie pop sensibilities.
The solo project of artist Joseph James, The Pink Nostalgia’s artistry is poignant and uplifting in equal measures, as he bares his soul with nothing held back framed by rich, diverse instrumentation and thoughtful, narrative-heavy lyricism.
