Irish indie rock band The Academic's studio album 'Sitting Pretty' is an album about navigating life in your 20s; the uncertainties and the ever-shifting sense of self. 'It's about the entrance into true adulthood and how that can alienate you from yourself, making you feel like you're playing a supporting role in your own life' the band explain. 'In one moment feeling 100% certain about everything, only to become overwhelmed with feelings of aimlessness and lack of direction in the next'.
