LIKE NIRVANA is a glistening, tightly-woven exploration of religious reckoning, oppressive structures of masculinity, and feelings of inadequacy. The record is impressionistic, pushing aside the brightly coloured realism of 2019’s self-titled record in favour of gauzy lucid dreams perfected on Lorde’s Melodrama and Frank Ocean’s Blonde. Nelson’s embrace of raw emotion has pushed them and their bandmates to create a record more fiercely emotive than ever. If This Is Our Vice introduced Cub Sport, and BATS and Cub Sport made them stars, then LIKE NIRVANA is the record that solidifies them as daring, open-hearted renegades.
