BY RIGHTS, NOVA Twins’ technicolour 2020 debut, Who Are The Girls?, should have transformed them into modern-day rock superstars. With their exhilarating blend of Day-Glo punk, gnarly bass, metal and electronic euphoria, guitarist and vocalist Amy Love and bassist Georgia South seized the zeitgeist, smashing boundaries and preconceptions of what rock music should be.
Given the pandemic scuppered some of the momentum that record deserved, second album Supernova should be their moment, blowing everything that makes the duo so special up to widescreen proportions. Written almost entirely during lockdown, it’s laced with darkness and triumph, more a celebration of freedom than a ‘pandemic’ record,opener hits like a primordial punch to the gut, its garish riffs fizzing with life, is a playful tongue-incheek gothic murder-rap, while and capture the incendiary energy of their live shows.
