Sacred Paws are built around the Afro-pop-inspired guitar playing of Rachel Aggs and the fluid drumming of Eilidh Rodgers, as well as their nimble dual vocals. The pair began playing together in Golden Grrrls, then stayed together when that band split. Their bubbly, exuberant style of danceable indie pop mixed with tropical post-punk was first heard on the 6 Songs EP, and then a pair of albums that were stripped down and energetic (2017's Strike a Match) and more nuanced (2019's Run Around the Sun).
