Lily Konigsberg - Lily We Need to Talk Now (Yellow Vinyl) - VINYL LP

Lily We Need To Talk Now is a record Konigsberg hasbeen slowly chipping away at since 2016, revising andre-recording the songs over the years. The eleven-trackcollection is her first proper full length, following heranthology of EPs and unreleased tracks, The Best ofLily Konigsberg Right Now, released in 2021 by WharfCat Records. The new record is catchy the whole waythrough, like much of her poppy and plainspoken indierock output that's made her a fixture of the NYC underground in recent years. Her voice twists and turns anddashes around her clever wordplay in new ways; thereare hints of power-pop, pop-punk, and downtempo introspection, all dotted with easter eggs of winking humor.True to it's title, this collection of songs is like a check inwith herself. InchOn InchThat's The Way I Like It,Inch with backing vocals from longtime collaborator Paco Cathcart,she reflects on the feeling of Inchstruggling with someoneyou love, and how you can get all evil about it, like abrat, like a baby.Inch On InchProud HomeInch, she sings one ofthe records boldest earworm hooks (InchYou've got a lotof fucking things to be proud of!Inch) and tries to comforta friend who has a crush on her mom. InchI really crackedmyself up with the lyrics,Inch she says. InchIt's kind of a Stacey's Mom riff. I decided it's a dedication to AdamSchlesinger [of Fountains of Wayne].Inch InchRoses, AgainInch isa new take on a familiar Lily tune (originally on GoodTime Now) re-recorded at the request of her currentlive band, who have evolved the song on the road Album Tracks 1.
