Hello and welcome to a rare outing of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! Reviews. The show where we focus on one single album that we believe deserves your love and give it our full attention.

On this episode Steve is joined by Merlin Alderslade to talk about the debut album from maximalist pop duo Haute and Freddy, Big Disgrace.

Haute and Freddy are Michelle Buzz and Lance Shipp, a pair that were writing songs for the likes of Kylie, Katy Perry, Britney Spears and more in LA, before deciding to go it alone. With a look that is part Elizabethan Clown, part Marie Antoinette, part cast of Saltburn, and songs that mash up everything from Lady Gaga to Depeche Mode to Marina to Goldfrapp to The Human League their debut album is one of the most perfect examples of modern pop that you'll be likely to hear this year... maybe any year.
