Atta Girl

Subverting the innocent, saccharine aesthetics of the twee pop movement, Amelia Fletcher uses this release to tackle intensely dark themes of domestic abuse and violence. The upbeat, jangly guitar melodies actively clash with the disturbing, narrative-driven lyricism, creating a profoundly unsettling emotional dissonance. The record heavily anticipated the more overtly political and aggressive sounds of the emerging riot grrrl scene.
