    Her second LP as Du Blonde plays it two ways: first with unremarkable, lunging dynamics and fuzz-caked riffs, then in a leaner and more soulful style, wit nods to prog and '70s folk-pop songcraft. Tha latter is more convincing and a better fit for her great voice and brutally honest lyrics. [Mar 2019, p.27]

    It resets her musical dial by abandoning the borderline Nick Cave-isms of Welcome... to amp up the rock dynamism which first won her attention.[Mar 2019, p.92]

Listen to the lyrics and you are brought downMusically, it’s a collection of good indie rock/garage rock melodies. Upbeat enough and catchy. Listen to the lyrics and you are brought down to the inverse of upbeat. It's a set of filthy and self loathing observations that completely belie the sounds your hearing. The material is good and the self produced album has a real DIY feel, giving it proper authenticity. I would say that over the 14 tracks, the texture of the songs is a bit similar and perhaps an external producer might have pushed things in other directions or at least edited it a bit better but then again that may have resulted in the record losing some of its charm.
