slayyyter - WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA

any takers for this? I've enjoyed her previous output to varying degrees, but this album seems a league or two above and perhaps the fullest realisation of her "sexy but troubled in the Midwest" vision yet. Me liking it so much could be down to the influences here generating a lot of personal nostalgia - there's the Yeah Yeah Yeahs (specifically Show Your Bones, but also "Soft Shock" and the A-Trak remix of "Heads Will Roll"), Sleigh Bells, the reverbed vocals of Modular records alumni of the late 00s (chiefly Ladyhawke), Benny Bennassi and his other garish EDM contemporaries, Justice's "STRESS", Gwen Stefani, etc.

Amidst all the raucousness, my favourite track might actually be "UNKNOWN LOVERZ", which would double as a perfect Addison Rae song.

Enjoyed Beat Up Channel$, which I think I discovered through the EOY poll, which is the 2nd track here. Digging the sound so far through the first half

i definitely hear Justice in "dance". it's good, i think i dig the stuff that sounds more like Goldfrapp mashed up with Death Grips most. ends strong too, with Brittany Murphy and $t loser two tracks before that

It’ll take some beating as my album of the year. She’s always been great but this is her most consistent and most fully-realised record so far.

best new music! and apparently she's featuring in the UK midweeks too, which is hugely impressive given that she hasn't really bothered review pages or the charts in any form previously

I feel like I hear Justice towards the end of yes goddd

Hadn't heard of her until hearing her guest song with Nile Rodgers on Sebastien Tellier's new album, and I've seen her mentioned a half dozen times in the week since.
