Poppy may well be the most unpredictable creative the alternative scene has ever produced. A veritable walking/dancing/singing/screeching magpie of music, over the course of five studio albums she’s flirted with (deep breath…) hyper pop, EDM, punk rock, grunge, reggae, nu metal, industrial, indie and metalcore. Did we miss anything? Probably. Anyway, she’s also covered everyone from Tatu and Kittie to Mac DeMarco and the Pokémon theme, and collaborated with Bad Omens, Diplo, Health, Knocked Loose, Fever 333 and Grimes. And that’s all before you get into her various, weird-as-fuck video projects.

For album number six, Poppy has decided to hone in and focus her energies on creating a full-on modern metal record, bringing in former Bring Me The Horizon man Jordan Fish on production duties. It’s proved to be something of a masterstroke. Negative Spaces isn’t just an excellently put together album stacked with arena-ready bangers; it sounds absolutely massive, crushing opener have you head enough? immediately bringing to mind the sound and feel that Fish made his bread and butter in his previous job.
