Speed Queen (CD)
Little Scream
Amoeba Review
07/24/2020
Little Scream’s Speed Queen is the perfect indie pop soundtrack to our very weird, often dark era. Upbeat melodies and sublime harmonies easily catch the ear while beneath it all lies deep unrest, with lyrics taking on selfish, destructive leaders and the struggle for dignity in daily life. It’s a jewel box of an album; taken together as a whole, Speed Queen is a dazzling listen, and on their own each track has a distinctive sparkle. These smart, heartfelt tunes don’t shy away from taking a stand and the album is all the stronger for it.
