Ottilie Wallace - 'Throughout The Day'

7/10

Throughout the last few years, British teenager Ottilie Wallace has been quick to establish herself as one of the more diverse and innovative names on the rise. Despite only 14 years of age, she has already churned out a wondrous array of delights, taking cues from observational social commentary of The Kinks, Damon Albarn and Jarvis Cocker; the emotional melodic universalism of Noel Gallagher and the Beatles; and the otherworldly dream-pop of Kate Bush and the Cocteau Twins in the process. And after an incredibly productive time for her in recent months, she now looks to cement her dynamic legacy to date with the release of her eagerly-awaited debut album 'Throughout The Day', a record that heightens those inventive ideals she is known for.

Right from the very start, 'Throughout The Day' looks to present itself as a brash yet progressive listen. Coupling her distinctive vocal style with this broad and electrifying production at every turn, this new ten-track collection makes for a wonderfully adventurous experience as she looks to keep her songwriting as fresh and interesting as possible. Whether it is the cacophonous energy of 'Gaslighter' or the more sombre textures of 'Asylum', Ottilie Wallace always manages to capture some brilliantly absorbing moments as often as possible.

She may still be within the infancy of her career right now, but 'Throughout The Day' highlights some truly mesmerising tones as it plays. Mixing the light with the dark; the loud with the quiet, Ottilie Wallace has introduced herself with an exciting debut full-length here.
