Sniff More Gritty

by Du Blonde

I think Du Blonde is one of the most singular and talented songwriters in the past couple of decades. They create songs that stick in your head and come up with lyrics that are thoughtful and simple, in beautiful ways.

Also, the tracks just f-ing jam.

This album is no different. Du Blonde has nearly made all of the album themselves, apart from some grand singers (for example, Laura Jane Grace and Skin), and mixing by a person from pigs pigs pigs pigs pigs pigs pigs.

In short, this album is about all kinds of stuff: relationships (personal, romantic, friendly, record-label-y), love, abuse, work, bubblegum, what-have-you-not, and the melodies still stick.

Du Blonde's song is better than ever on this album. I'm truly surprised that they can create music on such a high level and run everything themselves, including a multi-artist record label through which they released this album.

Buy this. I did.
