Steady Holiday, the project of Dre Babinski, makes off-kilter indie pop that projects the twisted noir of a David Lynch film.
On her sophomore full-length, Nobody’s Watching, the L.A.-based singer-songwriter crafts a cinematic tale narrated by poignant lyrics that reflect upon our often-troubled modern age and its relationship with the past.
Coming fully into her own as an artist, Babinski strikes a weightless balance between lightness and darkness on an album that taps into the zeitgeist without ever getting bogged down by the bummers of the present.
Score: 🙈🙈🙈🙈/5
