Review

Okay, buckle up buttercup, because "BURN PYGMALION!!! A Better Guide to Romance" by The Scary Jokes is about to take you on a wild ride through the messy, beautiful chaos of long-distance love. Picture this: it's 2019, you're curled up in your crush's empty house, scrolling through their Instagram and feeling all kinds of ways. That's basically the vibe of this album, but make it musical.

Liz Lehman, the brains behind The Scary Jokes, serves up a delicious sundae of sounds - we're talking 8-bit sprinkles on top of indie rock ice cream, with a swirl of queer bedroom pop. It's like if your Nintendo had a existential crisis and started writing love songs. And let's not forget the cherry on top - some killer guitar work from Juniper Abernathy and a surprise appearance by Louie Zong.

But don't let the beep-boops fool you - this album goes deep, fam. It's like reading your bestie's diary, but set to music. Lehman spills all the tea about anxiety, obsession, and the struggle of loving someone from afar. It's raw, it's real, and it'll probably make you want to text your ex (don't do it though, seriously). The Scary Jokes have whipped up a musical cocktail that's equal parts relatable and unsettling - kinda like love itself, right? - Tegan
