Cameron Wright discovers tales of identity and taboo
BMG
Released: 11.08.23
Pulling together three of Vienna’s big creative forces, Sophie Lindinger, Mira Lu Kovacs and Nastasja Ronck, My Ugly Clementine is Austria’s latest supergroup. This trio of female creatives formed My Ugly Clementine as a way to explore identity, share stories and challenge the norm.
While their tracks tackle taboos and raise awareness, the main agenda of the project is to let their hair down and have fun! Bringing in loud guitars and louder choruses, the group aim to provide the summer with a new wave of indie anthems.
Where tracks like No hit the ground running, making a noise and a scene, it’s the tender harmonies and moments of vulnerability that catch my attention. While most of the album falls into a generic indie haze, there’s moments of genuine interest and character still in the mix.
