About the album

Sometime fashion model and actress turned budding pop star Suki Waterhouse named her 2024 sophomore album after a testy breed of wildly coloured spider whose female members will actually eat prospective mates if they don't perform a satisfactory courtship dance.

How that all factors into the lyrical and thematic content of Memoir of a Sparklemuffin is for you to determine, but the London-bred Waterhouse's second full-length outing for influential American indie label Sub Pop Records, a mix of dreamy pop and sad-girl folkiness recorded during the months leading up to the birth of her first daughter, is without a doubt the finest album named after a cannibalistic arachnid made by a former model in 2024.

We're kidding around: it's actually very good, and Suki was super nice when she came to visit our Kops Records location while playing Toronto in December of 2024. We approve.

A memoir with a very good title.
