I saw this recommended by both an emo Twitter account I follow and Ben Seretan so I checked out the first single and it’s good. According to Stereogum, (I don’t follow either a ton so I was unaware) she’s toured with Craig Finn’s band and was set to tour in Purple Mountains before David Berman’s death.
Had not heard of her until "Hard Drive" got (the now rare) BNT yesterday. These singles are incredible.
Feeling like there’s some potential here to pull over fans from the camps of Phoebe Bridgers, Sharon Van Etten, & Conor Oberst (solo stuff)
I'm very excited for Friday. She just posted another round of vinyl (500 in purple) on her band camp since the first round (300 of powder blue) sold out.
So much great music out today. Started my morning with this, now on Mister Goblin, next up Hold Steady. Any other stuff y’all would recommend?
Oh yeah, Another Michael and Katy Kirby also on my list. I’ll check out Indigo Sparke and Lael Neale. Never been sold on Wild Pink, but I’ll give the new one a spin too!
This might be the best thing I've heard so far this year. At least up there with Black Country and The Weather Station. "Hard Drive" is still the standout by a mile but I am so happy that the rest of the record lives up to it in its own way.
