Album Notes & Community Reviews

Trading the bouncy, highly observational slack-rock of her debut for a significantly moodier, fuzz-heavy guitar sound, the Australian songwriter looks inward for her sophomore release. The record deals heavily with themes of depression, public expectation, and feminist frustration, notably featuring vocal contributions from the Breeders' Kim Deal. It functions as a deeply vulnerable, emotionally weighty evolution of her signature deadpan indie rock.
