PEGGY SUE - ACROBATS
A fierce departure from their indie-folk beginnings, Acrobats finds London-based duo Peggy Sue trading acoustic delicacy for a mouthful of "sharp, dirty teeth." Produced by the legendary John Parish (PJ Harvey, Sparklehorse), this 2011 record is a masterclass in tension and release, fueled by buzzing electric guitars and a newfound rhythmic ferocity. While the dual harmonies of Rosa Slade and Katy Young remain as haunting as ever, tracks like "Cut My Teeth" and "Funeral Beat" lean into a gritty, post-punk atmosphere reminiscent of The Breeders or Sonic Youth. It is an album of dark, propulsive energy—shaking off the "folk" label to reveal a band that is raw, electric, and unapologetically bold. For collectors, Acrobats is the definitive turning point in their discography, captured with a crackling, analog warmth that demands to be heard on wax.
