    Saw this album on Bandcamp’s website when I was looking into the platform, and was hooked at once. I personally feel like I’d appreciate if the album was more sonically varied, but perhaps that’s just because I haven’t spent enough time with the album to appreciate the distinct qualities of each of the songs. Now that I listen to No Fun / Party once more, I will admit that the structure is quite choppy, but the lyrics are outstanding and really get me in the feels more than the other tracks on the record. Still, Kara’s songwriting is incredible, and I can’t believe this is her *debut* album. So so excited to see what we hear from her in the future, and until then, I’ll be streaming this album like hell. Great review as per usual!!

      I'm gonna play it in the background while I pay attention to something else. Should that count for giving it the attention it deserves? Maybe 1/3 attention at best? Doesn't it deserve better, though? So, even by listening, I'm still letting it down. I probably won't live up to what this record requires, but that's cool.

    This record reminded me of my two favorites Nick Drake and Jeff Buckley; Nick with the lush arrangements of Five Leaves Left, the groove and instrumentation of Bryter Layter and the intimate, gut wrenching emotion of Pink Moon. For Jeff, the vocal range, profound lyricism and guitar work!
