The ’90s revival is well and truly alive, but Algernon Doll aka Ewan Grant, is shunning the neon colours, aztec prints, and electro throwbacks in favour of guitars, grunge, and soulful lyrics.
His second album Citalo-pop is out on 10th June, but he’s already released two brilliant tracks and videos online, “Cassini” and “Anti-them.” Visually, his videos are vintage ’90s, harking back to when MTV used to show actual rock music videos.
The tunes are both sing along and introspective and miles away from his debut album Camomile which dealt with Ewan’s issues with extreme anxiety disorder.
Algernon Doll burns a hole straight through the shallow nonsense and Citalo-pop is the sound of something real—Ewan Grant is a proper alt-rock talent who sounds wise beyond his years.
