PRETTY RECKLESS, THE - Who You Selling For 2xLP

Label: Razor & Tie

The Pretty Reckless’ latest album Who You Selling For marks the last collaboration between the band and long-time producer and friend Kato Khandwala before his untimely death in 2018. The band’s third studio album includes the same line-up of members all returning in full swing.

The band’s third studio album delivers a concise and sophisticated approach to themes the band has always explored. Young rebellion, disillusionment, and recklessness are age-old themes for the rock & roll genre. With a distinct maturity that has developed throughout the course of the band’s career, these songs, and moreover the album itself, build on previously explored themes with brand-new perspectives.

While the argument can be made that The Pretty Reckless are no longer leaning so hard on satanic imagery or outright sexualization, that’s not to say the band isn’t pushing the envelope with what they explore within their music. For Who You Selling For, subtlety may have been the band’s best choice.
