viewWho Is She? Goddess Energy Father/Daughter Records (2023)
Hailing from the enchanted lands of Seattle, Who Is She? is a supergroup of Indie Rockers from bands I don’t know. What I do know is that this platter is a cauldron-brewed mix of jangle pop, sing-songy vocals, and lo-fi production.
What separates this from typical retro la-la-las is sassy, funny lyrics, with songs about witchiness overload, a defense of Anne Hathaway, nostalgia for Movie Pass, and an ode to Marianne Williamson.
The record doesn’t even clock in at 30 minutes. Do you dig labels like Teen Beat, hyper-aware cultural references, and build altars to the divine feminine? Stream it.

viewThe Lemonheads Love Chant, Fire Records (2025)
58 Second Song opens The Lemonheads' first album of new material in nearly twenty years. It's three minutes and twenty-two seconds. Typical.
Love Chant is as shambling, warm, and weird as their one consistent but mercurial member, Evan Dando. I'm a lifetime member of the Dando Apologists Club, so I'm already lost, but this is a fun, fuzzy batch of '90s Guitar Rock.
The back half of the record swings more than the first, and begins soaring when Juliana Hatfield and Erin Rae harmonize their way into the chorus of Cell Phone Blues.
Reminiscent of the Lovey album. Stream it.
