The Female Artists Thread • Page 36

Hmm

'Women In Rock' Is Dead; Long Live Women In Rock

I get why threads like this one are so important, and I've found a lot of my recent favorite artists through it, and I don't think anyone in here is actually lumping artists together just because they're women without actually listening to and appreciating their music, but I do feel like this article is worth reading to reflect on our own listening habits and how we talk about the music we like and the people who make it

 

I'm going to keep promoting her, debut album in April

Can we change the thread name to like “Sick Female Artists Thread”

I want it to be emphasized that the women posted here are like really sick and it’s chill and cool

 

the only problem is that people might worry about their health! Maybe "Badass Female Musicians" or something

 

Nah it’s gotta be Sick, badass sounds corny. And there are some real sick non bad ass female musicians, I wanna hear that stuff.

 

I just imagined Peter Quill saying, "She's badass," then Drax saying, "What's wrong with her anus?"

 

Oh no, did my butt joke kill this thread? Oh well, time to revive it. Something something Phoenix Down joke.

 

Buke & Gase has an album out today that’s awesome. It’s experimental pop stuff so RIYL that kind of music

 

omg I just remembered Michelle Branch is Asian.

Anyway, I finally got a hold of a Spirit Room CD. I never did like all of the songs on it, but the good ones still hold up.

After Years of Record-Label Limbo, Michelle Branch Can Tell You That She’s Happy Now

(I also got a copy of Vanessa Carlton's Harmonium, after White Houses had been stuck in my head for the past two weeks. Trip down nostalgia lane, I guess.)

I need to catch up on a lot of things. Haven't checked out the newest from Michelle Branch, Vanessa Carlton, Avril Lavigne, and about a dozen (male-fronted) bands, the latter of which I kinda sorta lost interest in? Been listening almost exclusively to female artists for about two years now.

 

Oh, also got into Snail Mail! And then I was like, Wait, she's gay? It's a pleasant surprise; I think I checked out Tegan and Sara in the first place because they were described as being gay twins, so it's nice when that discovery happens the other way around.

 

Didn't get into the latest Michelle Branch but her unreleased stuff is gold. Wonder where she will go next.

 

This reminds me of another Asian musician I hadn't heard from in a while: Dia Frampton.

I’d Get to the Top of the Mountain if It Would Just Stop Fucking Growing

 

I love Dia

 

I buy from Amoeba online once and I start getting their newsletter. If there was a way to opt out, apparently I didn't. I guess I'm okay with that.

Anyway, I noticed Girlpool is playing there and doing a signing in a few days, but I've never listened to them.

edit: Didn't really like their Tiny Desk performance that much. I'll keep trying, but this might be Angel Olsen all over again. I guess at least this solidifies that I listen to female artists because I like them, not because they're female, so there's that.

 

Heyo, here's one of my faves, talking about some important stuff like self acceptance and such, from her... bathtub, I guess??? Anyways, take care of yourselves.

(Also check out her music! She only has three songs out so far, but I think her album is going to be really good.)

 

Anyone familiar with Slothrust? Meg Myers just shared this cover on her social media last night and it's killer

 

New Highasakite album "Uranium Heart" is out Friday/tomorrow. Music itself has been pared back a bit, putting more emphasis on Ingrid's voice, which is pretty fantastic. Highly recommend checking out

 

I’m bummed by the lack of bops, but there’s some good stuff on here

 

Anyone hear of Emily King? Just heard a track from her new album "Scenery" via the New Music Friday Spotify playlist. Just a beautiful track; will now have to check out the full album

 

Why no Clario on Apple music?

 

She definitely is unless you used the typo Clario haha
