Antidote is home to the best new alternative music in the UK and beyond—a celebration of independence, innovation, and artists who don’t just push boundaries but reduce them to rubble. Lola Young follows “Messy” by heading up the playlist with “Conceited.” The powerful rebuff to a self-centred lover has some classic, relatable Young-style one-liners like: “You bought me some flowers, I gave them to someone else.” By the time she tells the subject of the song to “Let yourself out,” listeners are in no doubt about her feelings. Also in this week’s playlist are new tracks from Florence Road, Cliffords, Nova Twins, Lucy Dacus, and HAIM. Like all the artists featured, Antidote is always evolving—so keep checking back, and if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
