Stephen Oliver discovers a dynamic and satisfying listen on Illuminati Hotties’ new album
Hopeless Records
Released: 23.08.24
Illuminati Hotties is a vehicle for producer and engineer Sarah Tudzin to get her ideas, emotions and songs out there. Assembled during and between working on other bands’ projects, the listener is exposed to her feelings about life in the real world. There is a range of styles, from the ethereal delivery in Rot though to the Radiohead-tinged title track, via the poppy Falling In Love With Somebody Better.
It is clear that Tudzin has applied her understanding of the recording process to create an expansive dynamic to the soundscape. The variety in tone on these tracks gives the listener a collection of songs that works really well as a satisfying album listening experience.
