Laura Stevenson has been a solo artist for over a decade, but only now, with her fifth album, does she truly sound like one. The New York musician’s career began in the DIY ska-punk band Bomb the Music Industry! before she peeled off to write her own material, often with friends rallying behind her in her backing band, the Cans. But after releasing the indie-pop record Cocksure, in 2015, she got married, bought a house, and adopted a dog. It’s within these domestic comforts that Stevenson found the courage to confront her demons after years of lyrically hinting at them. The result is 2019's The Big Freeze and 2021's self-titled, records where Stevenson makes her voice and guitar the focus, basks in minimal orchestration, and dissects her past in hopes that she can, finally, detach herself from its grasp. -Pitchfork
Allie Young is a musician and producer based in Kingston, NY. With a focus on narrative lyricism, her vocal-forward compositions incorporate tenor saxophone, electric guitar, synths and other mysteries. Inspired by the likes of Kimbra, Caroline Polachek and Björk, Young’s dynamic voice centers her sound, which finds unexpected grittiness in pop.
