Why? Lauren's voice and lyrics are something that hooks me and I find playing in my head afterwards in the best way possible. This is made all the better by a definite skill for underlining and punctuating lyrics with the guitar. Love their indie rock with a punk edge and poetic meter.
Where to start?
"They/them/theirs" is the song I first encountered them through and I found myself listening to it on repeat. Like an anthem for the nonbinary soul trying to persist and insist on being seen.
This hook especially rhymes with my soul:
"You are fighting between a rock and why bother
We are floating between two ends that don’t matter"
"Trust Your Gut" is part of their latest album, with Atom Willard on drums (a solid bandmate of many in the scene including Laura Jane Grace with Against Me), and fuck is it a feel right now for me. For all of us broken people navigating what it means to be with people and a part of this world.
"Warm Blanket" is also a freaking mood for me right now. And this music video showcases dancers that are somehow communicating what my depression and heartbreak feels like through dance...which I did not expect 😅
