actually i dont think thats what he meant, both of the other artists he mentioned were female.

Album Rating: 5.0

yeah but the rule applies, if you have a chick with a guitar as an uprising genre we can talk about Father John Misty as a "dude with a beard with a guitar thing". Whaddaya think?

Album Rating: 5.0

also grouper is my current fascination as far as female ~deep ~ musicians go

@Dewinged
okay fair yeah, she's kicking ass in that regard. i disagree that she's making things more personal tho, and that there's nothing like this album out right now.. this isn't that ground-breaking. it's just slightly dark alt rock

"its not that different from before,"
disagree hard. she kinda went full rock here. her debut is much more a folk album than anything. different strokes and all but for me, this album doesn't hold a candle to some heavy ocean..

Album Rating: 5.0

Yeah style wise might not be ground breaking, it's just the way she does it and the production of the album, the way she researched and came up with her sound, that acoustic through a bass amp, great stuff.



I say it's more personal because in several interviews she has severe issues when talking about it. The album followed a really down in a hole dark period in her life.



But don't get me wrong, I love Some Heavy Ocean as much as this one my man.

i wasn't doubting the personal nature of the album, just that it was 'more personal' than before, but i guess i wasn't aware of those circumstances. makes sense for something like this to come from that kind of place. nonetheless there's only a few songs i really dig here *shrugs*

you know man, it's usually that cliché right? like "nah my last album is more personal blah blah". It wasn't until I got the vynil that I could appreciate the hair in her legs. In that moment I knew this shit was real.

at the end of this interview it shows a little clip of her playing live. shes playing Marked for Death and theres heavy metal-esque distortion. it sounds so goddamn cool.

She fucking plugs her acoustic to a bass amp with a big muff and tone down to C man, fucking m//////

Album Rating: 5.0

i had no idea she played with metal bands, thats fucking awesome. she has quickly become a huge inspiration to me in my own writing.



"It wasn't until I got the vynil that I could appreciate the hair in her legs. In that moment I knew this shit was real."



the album cover for this is perfect. most artists want to look their best when they put themselves on an album cover. she looks like she hadnt slept in days.

"you know man, it's usually that cliché right?"
ha yeah you're right, you do see that all the time. i saw the cover so many times and i didn't even notice the hair until i got the cd haha. but yeah i dug and still dig that.. 'tis some great artwork. she looks so done with somebody's shit

Album Rating: 5.0

she looks like shes done with life. she looks exactly like the album title.

i agree that would be the more accurate description

Album Rating: 4.0

i saw that marissa nadler worked on an album with xasthur. thats really rad i thought, been digging her lately.. ballads of living and dying is an excellent record
