EP Review
Viji - Are You In My Head?
3-5 StarsEvery track here has a magic about it which sounds completely effortless.
The debut EP from the recent Dirty Hit signing is a vibrant foray into grunge-leaning indie-pop, with a couple of appearances from a vocoder for good measure. ‘Are You In My Head’ mediates on the kind of questions that emerge in adolescence: ‘Unfair’ ponders people with wealth but no idea what to do with it, while ‘Ghost Song’ sees Viji adopt the perspective of a ghost lingering in this realm, rolling her eyes because “I see you cry but you never knew me, let’s be real.” All of this is wrapped up in a lo-fi sweetness, moving between choral harmonies, sighing guitars and glitchy synths, each track drawing from a different sonic palette whilst maintaining an overall cohesiveness. Every track here has a magic about it which sounds completely effortless. There are beginnings of greatness tucked into this EP, tinder collected and waiting for the match to drop.

Whether raising or dropping the tempo, it pieces together the hooky and the hazy cleverly.
