NME People Of The Year 2016: Vico Rhys
What he says: “I think I'm a conduit for my generation. I think the things everyone thinks, say the things they are struggling to put into words, and make it just poppy enough you'll sing along to the angst of a billion of your peers.”

NPR Best 50 Albums of 2016
21. Walking Shadows - I Like It When You Sleep For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It

I like it when you sleep... is committed to being a pop album from another era. With a frontman who’s unabashed sexuality recalls the heyday of Prince mixed with the addictions and introspections of INXS front man Michael Hutchence, the band is so unabashedly steeped in 80’s nostalgia whilst still tackling what it means to be a young adult in 2016. Touching on subjects like social media addiction, the fascination with celebrities, excess and perfection, Walking Shadows wants to get beneath the glossy veneer to tackle questions of love, pain, beauty, and what it means to be a person in this day and age. What is striking about this album is it never loses it’s earnestness or vulnerability in the shiny wrapping. Standout songs “Somebody Else” has all the making of a James Blake ballad turned about face to an infectious pop tune, “Nana” and “She Lays Down” are about the singer’s fractured relationship with the women in his life, a desperate plea for love from those who it should be instinctive, culminating in a catharsis for both Rhys and the listener. This is an album that doesn’t ask for authenticity, it challenges the audience to listen deeper, connect, and find truth among the noise. -Grace Katz

Guess who made a random appearance in my mum's Living etc magazine this month? She left it out on the counter and counted how many seconds before I saw his face.

give me twenty // their post pulse performance still gives me chills

"The fact that our next album will be released in a post Brexit, Trump presidency world is a thing I think about a lot. More than ever people are feeling disenfranchised and not heard and I think our band has always spoken directly to and for those people. It seems monumental to frankly think of anything positive to say looking at the state of the world currently so maybe this next album might be a bit angrier, bit more confrontational, some sort of neo-punk lyrical ethos."
― Vico Rhys, NPR Dec 2016
