Pretty O.P. follows up on their recent EP’s success with their latest single, “Look Who’s Laughing Now,” a bright and guitar-driven take on a vindictive relationship. The track swirls into the listener’s ears with a synthy interlude and dreamy melody line. “My thoughts get so mixed up/ When I try to think through this disarray,” Derek Mac begins in a soothing, melancholic voice. Met with an earworm of a chorus and a cutting punchline-turned-track-title, Pretty O.P. delivers an exciting performance of reflection and recompense.
The recording’s full, lush sound can be attributed to its wide variety of instrumentation and masterful genre-bending. It is perfect listening for shoegaze or indie pop lovers.
