Album Review: My Idea - CRY MFER

Album Review: My Idea - CRY MFER

“It’s rare to hear a duo so honestly and openly processing their relationship on an album – especially a debut one – but that’s what makes Cry Mfer so special. It’s not the only thing though; Konigsberg and Amos have already proven their songwriting and instrumental prowess in their various other projects, but together they seem to have augmented each other’s abilities. Every song on this record is carefully crafted, and the way they’ve perfectly balanced the intimate bedroom atmosphere with the crystalline sheen of modern mainstream has created a set of unmissable pop pearls.”

Lily Konigsberg and Nate Amos’ My Idea project has been a delight since it emerged, and I love the debut album - read my review over on BPM.
