SWALLOW! LP

Shygirl clawed her way up through UK club music on the 2020 EP "Alias" and then "Nymph," the 2022 Because Music album that got Mercury-shortlisted and nearly universal praise. "Swallow!" keeps pushing, led by "Lucky (Hymn)," and it splits itself between skeletal electronic tracks that sound like the wiring is still exposed and full pop songs that don't, pulling her further from the underground rooms that made her.
