She’s continued to release wonderful stuff. She’s up to two full-lengths (Grow and Winterwell), a short/tweener LP (Empty Nest) and EP (The Middle) and an instrumental thing (Bloom).

Three weeks later... still sticking with one song per artist, but there's a little cheating here and there. I used Bias Sorter, so some of the rankings ended up surprising me, but overall hard to disagree with. I'd say 2-6 are pretty interchangeable. 1. The Promised Land - Bruce Springsteen 2. It's Not a Fashion Statement, It's a Fucking Deathwish - My Chemical Romance 3. Suburban War - Arcade Fire 4. Go Home - Julien Baker 5. This River Is Wild - The Killers 6. Here's Looking At You, Kid - The Gaslight Anthem 7. Younger Us - Japandroids 8. Plainsong - The Cure 9. Ribs - Lorde 10. That's Where You're Wrong - Arctic Monkeys 11. Come on up to the House - Tom Waits 12. Graceless - The National 13. Left of the Dial - The Replacements 14. Age of Consent - New Order 15. Catalina Fight Song - Joyce Manor 16. Blood Loss - The Horrible Crowes 17. Blood Bank - Bon Iver 18. My Mistakes Were Made for You - The Last Shadow Puppets 19. Love Like Ghosts - Lord Huron 20. Disorder - Joy Division 21. Lies - CHVRCHES 22. Nineteen - Tegan and Sara 23. Black Me Out - Against Me! 24. (Nothing But) Flowers - Talking Heads 25. Hard Times - Paramore 26. Seventeen - Sharon Van Etten 27. Don't Try - Gerard Way 28. Nothing Can Change This Love - Sam Cooke 29. Time Turned Fragile - Motion City Soundtrack 30. The Man Comes Around - Johnny Cash 31.
