Album Notes & Community Reviews

For her sophomore album, Michelle Zauner expands her lo-fi indie-pop sound into sweeping, highly polished dream pop heavily inspired by science fiction and space exploration. The record acts as a method of processing the lingering grief of her mother's passing, utilizing lush synthesizers and cinematic guitar arrangements. It solidified her status as a leading voice in modern indie rock.
