Hey Guys, Watch This

by Nellie McKay

supported by

drunkandincharge One of my all-time favorite singer/songwriters and fellow Aries. I was really into her last few albums, but it’s so refreshing to get a new batch of original tunes, especially after *checks liner notes* 13 YEARS!!? Good things come to those who wait because this album is fantastic. Now when do we get vinyl? Favorite track: badumbump.

ActuallyAlison This album is like an iceberg, with a nice chill surface to relax to. But underneath there are teeth. Initiation continues to heal me and blow my mind over and over as it lulls the nervous system with its gentle and addictive melody while talking about the experience of domestic abuse. It also has some of the tightest, jazziest lyric-writing I've ever heard. Favorite track: initiation.

mediamonarchy Classic Nellie <3 Favorite track: the party song.

about

Under the lonesome cry of the midnight train, stars twinkling over hillbilly lights in the mountain fog, Nellie McKay returns with Hey Guys, Watch This, her first album of original material in 13 years.

Recorded in Charleston, West Virginia with The Carpenter Ants and a roving retinue of musical compadres, Hey Guys, Watch This traces the haunted sounds of Appalachia to a renaissance of revelry. So unpack your washtub bass, fill up your red cup and pull on your shitkickers ‘cause the night is young and the moon is bright, even if we’re not.

The instrumentation and songwriting in this album is really top-tier. Aofie is one of my favorite folk/alt-country artists and she performs wonderfully, bringing her unique tone of voice to this project. This album was my first step into Aofie's artistry, and is firmly one of my favorite albums. rileyridgway
