marlee grace

2020 week 14 | saint cloud by waxahatchee

this week, I’m finally getting around to an artist that has been in my peripheral music view for years and years. katie crutchfield, aka waxahatchee. the name has always floated around my various cultural-interest spheres, and once i started following marlee grace on instagram (also seen on insta as @personalpractice) sometime around late-2015, early-2016, waxahatchee began popping up even more because they’re buds.

she’s always here and there in release radars and daiy mixes, but she recently released Saint Cloud in late-march and the time has finally come for me to give her an intentional and fair shake, and i really want to read this article with the knowledge of the songs, not just the knowledge of her friendship with marlee <3

week 24 | scenery by emily king

this week’s album is courtesy of a marlee grace (IG @personalpractice) dance video from may 31. I had never heard of this artist but it is, as pitchfork said, a “sleek, vibrant R&B that’s packed with 1980s soundtrack flourishes and big moments.”

I’m only a couple of songs in, but I’m 100% hooked.

~*~*~ a nice refresh reset for a full strawberry moon week when job-searching/self-searching/life-searching is getting me down and I need all the good vibes I can get. ~*~*~
