SACRED PAWS

Sacred Paws are built around the Afro-pop-inspired guitar playing of Ray Aggs and the fluid drumming of Eilidh Rodgers, as well as their nimble dual vocals. The pair began playing together in Golden Grrrls, then stayed together when that band split up. Their bubbly, exuberant style of danceable indie pop mixed with tropical post-punk was first heard on the 6 Songs EP, and then on a series of albums that were stripped-down and energetic (2017's Strike a Match), more nuanced (2019's Run Around the Sun), and sunnily expansive (2025's Jump into Life).
