Let's Start Degeneracy' finds Atlanta-based trio Microwave getting older. Mind you, there's no mustiness here. This is a record that strips away the bullshit to see the band at their most liberated and, as vocalist Nathan Hardy says, "self-actualised".

From the Dork archive: back in 2021, Wolf Alice were still wrestling with their pop side. The hindsight thrill is how close they had previously come to resisting the direction of 'Don't Delete The Kisses' that made the whole song land.
