Big Disgrace
Haute & Freddy
Big Disgrace is the debut full‑length album from L.A. alt‑pop duo Haute & Freddy (Michelle Buzz and Lance Shipp), released March 13, 2026. Across 13 tracks and just over 20 minutes, they deliver what they call “maximalist pop”: tightly packed songs built on huge 80s‑inspired synths, punchy drum machines, and theatrical vocals that draw on the lineage of acts like Kate Bush, Eurythmics, and modern pop artists such as Chappell Roan and Lady Gaga. The tracklist runs from “Symphony For A Queen,” “Anti‑Superstar,” and “Sweet Surrender” through “Scantily Clad,” “Freaks,” “Shy Girl,” “Femme Fatale,” and “Dance The Pain Away,” each treated like its own mini‑showpiece in a fast‑moving, no‑filler sequence.
Lyrically and conceptually, the album plays like a neon cabaret about self‑image, fame, shame, and liberation, using carnival and royal‑court imagery to frame stories of shy girls, outcasts, exhibitionists, and “anti‑superstars.” Buzz has described Big Disgrace as a release valve for depression and self‑doubt, turning the “eccentric, over‑the‑top parts” of herself she once hid into a defiant, joy‑seeking persona who dances through pain rather than shrinking from it. Critics emphasize how sharply written and controlled the record is beneath all the camp: hooks hit quickly, jokes and barbs land without undercutting genuine feeling, and the duo’s theatrical synth‑pop feels less like retro cosplay and more like a confident manifesto about pop as both spectacle and emotional truth.
