Rolling INDIE 2021

the description of an l.a. native who switched from indie to pop was not very inspiring, but gotta say i'm impressed with the blondshell album! some lovely melodies and production touches, like the high, ny dolls-esque piano that rings through "salad," and the choruse...well, they pop

Turns out she's actually an NYC native, and moved to L.A. to study music.

ok i guess that explains it

(I'm not sure if it explains anything, lol... just wanted to flesh out the backstory, as I had originally posted "L.A. local" and then learned more)

really like this new rvg record. well-produced, and well-written set of '80s alternative inspired rock music. it's post-punk at times, cure at times, sometimes will touch on psychedelic furs. the most striking song on the record is "squid," which is a fun and sinister bit of camp
