If this is your first time reading about glam indie pop darling Cortney Dixon, then you are already behind – KEEP UP LOSER! Her debut EP, Hazard A Guess, is smeared with razor-sharp gloss and promises to put Dixon’s name on everyone’s lips. The six-track EP contains more variety than a Kellogg’s multipack, offering precisely crafted nuggets of fuzzy indie guitars, smothered in melodic pop sensibilities.
Once this ride starts, it’s impossible to get off – each track pulls you in deeper. The discotheque rhythm of Life Goes On, the swaggerful regret of If You Love Somebody… and the joyous and infectious Little Big Sister; an ode to Dixon’s undefeatable sister Toni. The choice to listen is yours dear reader – don’t fuck it up.
