Tangerine Cassette isn’t asking politely. They’re kicking down the door in platform boots, swinging steak knives like percussion instruments, and demanding exactly what the title promises: GIMME MORE. The Nashville-based duo, made up of Natalie Cleveland and Josh Roach, drop their latest brat-pop blitz, and it’s every bit as chaotic, clever, and confident as fans have come to expect.
From the moment the title track opens with a beat carved out of sampled cutlery, it’s clear we’re not in polite pop territory. It grabs your collar, smirks in your face, and dares you to look away. Each track is a punchline and a power pose rolled into one: all sass, all swagger, all serotonin.
Tracks like ‘BBE (BIG BOOTY ENERGY)’ and ‘EXclusive Club’ are pure playground flexing- rhythmic whiplash paired with tongue-in-cheek declarations that strut like runway models in combat boots. Cleveland’s delivery is sharp and charismatic, navigating between camp theatrics and real-deal confidence with ease. Meanwhile, Roach’s production pulls from glitch-hop, electroclash, and trap-pop influences, fusing them into something that sounds like the internet set to a strobe light.
But ‘GIMME MORE’ isn’t just posturing. Under the neon-bright surface, there’s intention. ‘I AM EVERYTHING’ and ‘Hello It’s The New Me’ simmer with self-affirmation, reframing self-love as both armour and arsenal. Even ‘Gibberish’, with its rollercoaster vocal cadences and twitchy textures, lands like a manifesto for those who make noise on purpose.
Beneath the bravado lies a message: ambition isn’t a dirty word, and you don’t have to downplay your shine to make others comfortable. It’s pop with a manifesto, dressing like Y2K chaos but walking like it owns the room.
Tangerine Cassette’s rise through alt-pop circles has been anything but quiet, and with Spotify playlist nods and sync placements across MTV and Hulu, their brand of maximalist mischief is clearly connecting. ‘GIMME MORE’ doesn’t just continue that momentum- it kicks it into overdrive.
Whether you’re running laps, starting a revolution, or just need a sonic slap to remind yourself who you are, ‘GIMME MORE’ is the album for you. No subtlety, no apologies- just pure brat-pop bravado, served with a blade.
