Upcoming Album of the Week (Ending September 3)

This one will actually span the past two weeks, as I have had no time to keep my blog updated. Things are looking up, though! Work should get less hectic and I have officially finished moving (though not unpacked)! My Upcoming Releases page will be updated soon, so be sure to keep an eye out there.

Last week, Sadie Dupuis, frontwoman for Speedy Ortiz, made good on previous solo singles and announced her debut album as Sad13, Slugger.

Sadie has been fronting Speedy Ortiz for five years and through three albums and four EPs, including last year's excellent Foil Deer.

Earlier this year, Sadie debuted the name Sad13 in a collaborative single with rapper Lizzo, which the two worked on through Google Docs before even meeting each other. It was a great single and perfectly melded the worlds of indie and hip hop.

I guess Sadie felt inspired by the solo work. Based on the first single, "Get a Yes," the record sounds as though it will be a far cry from the guitar-driven sound of her band.



Slugger is set to be released November 11.
