Fika 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: London-based DIY label Fika are a trusted source of indie pop, and they're onto a winner presenting the first album from Fortitude Valley. They're fronted by Laura Kovic, who had served plenty of time in other East London bands like Tigercats before getting to steer the ship for this latest project. Although they're rooted in the UK and have a sound which nods to bands like The Beths and Lush, the name is actually a nod to the Brisbane music scene Kovic came up in. Whichever end of the earth you're listening from, the pop hooks come on fast in this irresistible album of jangly tunes with an indie bite.
