Librarian’s Picks

Cassia Hardy – In Relation [Mint]
Edmonton, AB          Rock/Pop
This album is so good. Cassia is a stunning and unparalleled musician. The songs are inventive and satisfying and you can feel the tension in the performance when you listen. She also really knows how to pair a word and a note. I will still be listening to this album years from now, I know it.

Mclusky – The World Is Still Here And So Are We [Ipecac]
Bristol, UK          Punk
They haven’t made an album in 21 years and I don’t know them but that distortion is killer.

Debbii Dawson – You Killed The Music EP [RCA]
Los Angeles, CA         Rock/Pop
Tight, catchy pop melodies. Nice voice and good production.

M(h)aol – Something Soft [Merge]
Dublin, Ireland         Punk
Pinched distortion and skittering rhythm

Bella Wakame – Bella Wakame [Umor-Rex]
Berlin, Germany          Electronic
Drums and modular synthesizer. Hypnotic grooves and fun electronic sounds.
