Mommy Long Legs

“There’s a lot of new genres being tossed around online these days, but Seattle band Mommy Long Legs can take credit for have pioneering two of the more creative ones: “Brat punk” and “fartcore.” After dissecting topics like cat calling and yuppie housewives on their past releases, their debut album Try Your Best, tackles some new ones with the group’s signature acerbic sense of humor. Dripping with deliberate kitsch, the new record runs the gamut of 2018 social issues, from social media compulsion (“Logging Off”), faux-allyship (“Ditched You”), and abortion (um, “Abortion”). Don’t miss the permanent vacation vibes of “Bitch Island” either.” - Victoria Wasylak - Vanyaland
