On Out of Scale, the band have further developed their sound. The band’s first album, Sweet Mortality, brought them international fame, seemingly out of nowhere. They recorded their second album, Inner Smile in the U.K. It was rougher, more honest. Now they have sharpened their style once again. Each song sounds different yet inevitably follows on from the next. Distorted guitar and empowering grunge rage are followed by repetitive psychedelia. Then there’s a thoughtful, almost quiet song. Somewhere between Courtney Barnett and Wet Leg.

“’Something Ain’t Right’ starts with that kind of weird feeling, you just can’t shake off,” say the band. “Somewhere between jet lag, passing encounters, and unspoken expectations, things start to feel off. The song keeps pushing forward, letting doubt and a sense of being overwhelmed hang in the air instead of trying to resolve them. There’s a tension between wanting to pull back and feeling like you have to keep going. It’s about acknowledging vulnerability without getting stuck in it.”

The song was written on a dark and rainy day in summer. “After a drive through the pouring rain after rehearsal, I sat soaking wet in my unusually dark room and started humming this song”, remembers front singer and guitarist Gini. The song was recorded in Leipzig, while the band had a few days off on their Inner Smile tour and embodies the raw energy of Amyl and the Sniffers or Garbage.

Gini shares, “We had to have Chris Sheldon behind the mix. His work is incredible and he nailed the sound we wanted for this song.” The celebrated Chris Sheldon, renowned for his work with Foo Fighters, infused his signature touch into the track’s mix. The result? An electrifying rendition of ‘Perfect Pretender’ poised to capture the attention of listeners around the world.

The band signature sound is evermore present in their newest single ‘Schoolgirl’, a mixture of contemporary indie rock similar to that of Wolf Alice, combined with 90s girl band rock, making it a track that would be at home on an angsty teen movie soundtrack. Undeniably catchy, the punchy guitar driven single is made up of snappy riffs, tight snares and lead singer Gini Jungi’s pristine vocals, capturing the excitement and uncertainty of falling in love in a fresh and honest way. Especially when you’re not sure what you’re about to get yourself into. It can make you feel bold and shy, excited and nervous but still, it’s a feeling that fills you up with energy and hedonism.

“’Schoolgirl’ is a reflection on the early stages of a relationship where everything is new and exciting, but it can also make one feel extremely confused and nervous. The lyrics capture the feeling of being young and in love, not knowing where it will all lead, but being excited to find out,” Jungi explained.

The catchy, addictive hook of ‘Midnight’, the energetic voice of the singer and the fuzzy rock sound of the four-piece are definitely the soundtrack for a wild night out.

‘Midnight’ is the name of Annie Taylor’s new rocknroll single, and it literally knocks you off your feet. But then you want to get back up, drop everything but yourself, and spend a night out in chaos, as frontwoman Gini Jungi says: “This one’s about to blow off one’s steam while getting lost with friends beyond midnight on a weekend”.

Contrary to the powerful single ‘Midnight’, ‘All The Time’ comes across as spheric. Once again, the band skillfully reveals their fragile side to its fans. It tempts its listeners to daydream with psychedelic laid back guitars.
