Post-punk.com Track by Track review of Mongrel – Second Idol Traces the Fault Lines of Heritage and Hurt on Their Debut LP "Mongrel"
There is an electricity to Second Idol's Mongrel that moves like a body remembering its earliest bruises and choosing to stand taller because of them. Second Idol, one of the notable acts rising out of Australia’s alternative world, deliver a debut album that carries itself with conviction, curiosity, and the kind of quiet rage that becomes a guiding force rather than a burden. It feels like a work shaped in the palms of many histories, pressed together until something sharp and bright begins to take form. The result is a collection that studies belonging with both tenderness and blunt honesty.
