Razika - Program 91

Review by Jazz Monroe

This promising debut is a thing of such utter and ruddy brilliance it feels at once irresponsible to get carried away with praise and uppity to proffer anything so improbable as a perceived shortcoming.»

few bands can make you instantly recall your favourite summer. your first kiss. the first time you snuck out of the house. in bergen, norway, razika, comprised of four precocious 19-year-old girls, have discovered how to conjure these emotions, channeling a mix of innocence and rebellion, romance and heartbreak, and gift-giving and gun-slinging into their debut album 'program 91' (smalltown supersound). the album is a glorious contradiction; an exhilarating mix of ska, riot grrl, 60s girl groups, post-punk and upbeat, c86 pop that would make phil spector, the specials and the raincoats proud. influences aside, program 91 finds the perfect middle ground between late-night, detached cool and youthful ebullience.
