Record of the Day: Pushpin - Pushpin self-titled EP

Pushpin’s self-titled sophomore EP is a vibrant explosion of creativity and eclecticism, making it an obvious choice for our Record of the Day. The London-based wonky art-pop quartet has released a collection of six tracks that embody their signature sound of playful chaos, relentless musical experimentation, and infectious energy.

From the soaring brass freak-outs to the delicate choral arrangements, the EP is packed with moments that surprise and delight. Tracks like the lead single “WAWAWAWAWA” showcase their ability to blend fun, theatricality, and melancholy into one cohesive sonic experience. There’s a playful yet profound energy that permeates the record, keeping listeners hooked with memorable hooks, avant-garde elements, and whimsical instrumentation.

With their biggest headline show at Hackney’s Moth Club just around the corner and praise from the likes of John Kennedy, Radio X, and Far Out Magazine, Pushpin continues to march into new creative territory. Their EP is a testament to how much they’ve evolved since their debut in 2022, and it solidifies them as one of the most exciting rising acts on the scene.
