Josh
Peach PRC
Peach PRC makes pop music with the emotional logic of a group chat: fast, specific, slightly unhinged, and funnier than it has any right to be. "Josh" runs on a production style that's sugary and immediate — bright, compressed synths, a beat that bounces rather than thumps, hooks that arrive before you've braced for them. Her vocal delivery is the real instrument here, toggling between earnest vulnerability and absolute deadpan in the space of a single line, which is harder to pull off than it sounds. The subject is a particular kind of ex — not a villain, not a love of your life, but a Josh: a middling mistake that you nonetheless cannot fully delete from your emotional operating system. The song's genius is treating this experience with the exact amount of gravity it deserves, which is somewhere between zero and quite a lot depending on the hour. It fits within the Australian indie-pop scene that emerged in the early 2020s alongside artists who understood that self-awareness and sincerity aren't mutually exclusive. You'd queue this walking to meet someone you probably shouldn't be meeting, or recounting the whole situation to a friend who already knows the ending.
