Song of the day – 37: LoneLady

Tip of the ET hat to this most excellent website for hooking me up with the debut LoneLady album. It wasn’t what I was expecting. I’m familiar with Julie (LoneLady)’s work from a few years back, but that was all sky-reaching vocals and Free Kittenish. This isn’t.

It’s on Warp in the UK, so I was thinking mutated dance along the lines of… I dunno, Chicks On Speed or someone… not Michael Dracula, not this thin-sounding, stretched, jagged, guitar-based music. Nerve Up is all abrasive Gang Of Four guitars and sudden incisions. Maybe I should have checked my own blog.

Anyway, the music is great – unsettling and smartly paranoid and taut. Here’s the single.

My name is Everett True. I am a music critic. This is what I do. I criticise music. The clue is in my job description – music critic. I do not consider myself a journalist, as I do not research or report hard news. I do not consider myself a commentator as I believe that everyone should be a participant. I criticise people and in return I am not surprised if other people criticise me. It is part of the whole deal of being in the public arena. I am Everett True. Believe in me and I have power like a God. Quit believing in me and I no longer exist.
