I got hooked on this one from Pedestrian at Best. That’s a pretty unique track in her works with the punk shining through so heavily but I came to really enjoy the rest of the album. I’m a fan of her lyrical style and I like to describe it as Shower Thoughts, The Music:
More people die on the road than they do in the ocean, Maybe we should mull over culling cars instead of sharks, Or just lock them up in parks where we can go and view them
(from Dead Fox)
I haven’t loved her follow ups as much but she’s still a fun presence in a playlist. Saw her a few times live and she puts on a very solid rock show.
