Sitting Pretty is the sophomore album from Irish indie rock outfit the Academic and follows 2018's Tales from the Backseat. Produced by Kaiser Chiefs' Nick Hodgson at Snap Studios in London, the album sees the band add another level to their songwriting with a selection of classic rock-influenced indie pop songs. The glam-stomping single "Pushing Up Daisies" is featured.
