Ross (3284 KP) rated Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney in Music
May 28, 2020
Rolling Stone's 272nd greatest album of all time
If I had to put money on it, I would have said Sleater-Kinney were a Celtic rock band, along the lines of Runrig or Wolfstone. I was pleasantly surprised to find they're an all-girl punk band. This was right up my street and similar to other bands I had listened to as part of this list - the likes of "X" and Liz Phair. Very angry, angsty and fast and raw. Great album.

CHILLFILTR (46 KP) rated Getting to Me by Caroline Rose in Music
Jul 11, 2019
She pulls us in right away with her working girl narrative:
“Waitress sets the tables
two and four and six
laying placements
knife fork spoon upon napkin ”
— Caroline Rose
There is a very precise pizzicato counterpoint between strings and dirty guitar; it creates a sort of art-rock melodic swell that feels like Feist being dry with a band. I love the songwriting and there's a Liz Phair sort of resemblance both in terms of being punk pretty and having a tell-all feel to the lyrics. Yes, go on, do tell.
Rose's last release has a top single with almost 1 million plays, after just 4 years. I think this next project will get there even faster because it sounds fantastic.
The sound of the tracks that I've heard so far is light and nuanced and smart and funny and could put her right on stage at The Hotel Cafe, circa now.
