Pip Blom—the 25-year-old frontwoman of the Dutch band of the same name—has said her 2019 debut, Boat, was largely influenced by the Blur and Oasis-era Britpop albums she grew up with. For the band's second album, Welcome Break, she once again turned to her childhood home in Amsterdam (literally, she wrote all the songs there), but this time around her inspirations stretch in other directions. With its kick-in-the-door chorus, "12" still has all the comforts of Britpop. But you can hear shades of the indie-pop bounce of '90s Massachusetts trio Papas Fritas in kinetic opener "You Don't Want This" and there's a bit of Sahara Hot Nights' Swedish intensity on songs like "Easy." Meanwhile, "It Should Have Been Fun" rides an easy head-nod beat and meandering melody that recalls Pavement’s Brighten the Corners album. The song's about being in a relationship where you can't stop bickering, even though you don't want to: "We got haunted minds, so tell me what went wrong?/ What I thought you said and what you said I did." Blom has described how, "When the track starts, it feels like it’s going to be a very sensitive, calm song. The verses capture the feeling of sadness, disappointment in yourself and someone else. But when the chorus starts, the energy switches. It’s more angry, being fed up, wanting to change something, like there’s a tipping point." The band adopts a similar emotional ascent for "I Know I'm Not Easy to Like"—which begins with Blom singing in a deadpan delivery, then going higher and edgier as the nervous guitars bear down on her, then screaming her way through the big, thick chorus. While most musical siblings play up the idea of perfect family harmonizing, Blom and younger brother Tender—the band's guitarist, joined by drummer Gini Cameron and bassist Darek Mercks—are all about the discord. During the bridge of the excellent "Keep It Together," they dive for different keys, while the chorus is almost like two songs happening at once as each sings their part. Tender's deep, hearty voice is also a great complement to his sister's sugar-sweet vocals on moody "Different Tune." It's weird, in the best possible way. © Shelly Ridenour/Qobuz
