Editor's review
This Birmingham singer-songwriter's dense, charging tracks feel something like compacted histories of all of British rock. In the space of a tidy three-minute tune, Nova can morph from a sneering, Bowie-like stage god to a '90s psych-rock revivalist in the Supergrass mold to an arena-sized indie rocker.
