If you haven't been paying attention to Brigitte Calls Me Baby, it's time to wake up. The Chicago lads just dropped their second album Irreversible, and the opening track, "There Always," is an absolute masterclass in 80s-inspired indie pop.
I had the pleasure of catching them live in Manchester recently, and honestly? They were outstanding. Wes Leavins’ vocals are just as soaring and magnetic in person as they are on the record.
Massive respect to the band: someone collapsed during their set, and they immediately stopped playing, drew attention to the person so they could get help, and only resumed once everything was sorted. Pure class.
They bring that perfect blend of vintage crooner melancholy and punchy, modern post-punk energy. "There Always" sets the tone for the whole record—moody, shimmering, and completely infectious.
Give it a spin below and let the obsession begin.
P.S. If you haven't heard their debut album, The Future Is Our Way Out, give that a spin falling in love with it would be "Too Easy"!
