     It's about time that I got in on #MusicWomenWednesday (with @loewe ) and share the most recent band I've been obsessed with.

     Artist: Bridge City Sinners (Frontperson: Libby, she/they)

     Why? Describing this as "dark neofolk" doesn't really describe how they bring together diverse styles of vocals and instrumentation that pull both from metal and the dark sides of country and folk. Not to mention some of the songs really speak to those of us living with mental illness or otherwise on the margins.

     Where to start?

     "Devil Like You" cemented by obsession, telling the story of a murder most foul with just an earworm of a haunting chorus

     Meanwhile, "Doubt" really hit me hard in my own experiences living with mental illness: https://youtu.be/3cu1dDFjH0M?si=tLN_OcViHLvzBERq

     And "Rock Bottom" has the amazing line:
     "Depression,
     hello my old friend.
     It's so good to see you again -
     at least with you I won't die alone."
