Erin Anne - Do Your Worst - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

When the whole world collapses around you, sometimes the only thing you can do is stomp it all loose. Erin Anne's second album, the gleaming, electrified Do Your Worst, charts that uninhibited romp through disaster. Written amid the rubble of personal grief and professional disappointment, later exacerbated by the devastation of a global pandemic, the record deepens Erin's venture into the blur between human and machine, adding a new roster of digital instruments to the mix. Drawing on dark, glossy '80s synthpop as well as the unabashed bombast of bands like The Killers, the L.A.-based songwriter deploys a cyborg persona to articulate a feeling of displacement from the world as a queer artist struggling to survive the machinations of late capitalism. With bright, interweaving synthesizers and ripples of Auto-Tuned vocals, Do Your Worst poses a dare to the world Whatever you have in store, I'll take it standing.1 Monday Feeling2 Loose Cannon Club3 Eve Polastri's Last Two Brain Cells Have A Debate4 Naked Minimum5 Mirror Mirror6 Do Your Worst7 Echo Park Vampire8 Florida9 This Hungry Body10 Underground11 Typhoid Mary
