Sunday Coffee and Tunes - 28/12/25
Case / Lang / Veirs - Self Titled
When I worked in a posh boutique the manager played a lot of KD Lang which seemed like an odd choice and out of place for a boutique but it kind of worked. However after 3 years every weekend on the cd rotation it's now permanently in my brain with a nervous twitch. In 2016 my partner suggested I check this out - I was sceptical to say the least. Supergroup collaborations always seem like a curry with too many spices. I was shocked at just how well all 3 voices blended on this album. The harmonies and lyrics are chefs kiss. Reminds me of my adolescents in the suburbs with it's themes of connection, identity, heartache. The album opens with the line “I’m not the freckled maid / I’m not the fair-haired girl / I’m not a pail of milk for you to spoil" and gets me every time.
This was then followed up with listening vicariously to 3 speed metal albums as my partner sped through putting ikea kallaxes together.
