like everyone else life has been getting me down lately but i'm finding some joy where i can, particularly in this singing group composed of three sisters from New Jersey. funny, frank and earnest songs about modern womanhood delivered in threepart harmony. just like with the Beach Boys, there is really something magical about the way these family members' voices blend together so perfectly. "Hammond Song" is one of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard. RIP Maggie Roche, genius songwriter.

As embodied by "You're Not the Only One I Know." Harriet's voice is a lot like Chrissie Hynde's in that she could basically be singing the dictionary and I'd fall over. But she is vulnerable where Chrissie is tuff. Maybe the real point is: she's not humming banalities. She's singing about ambivalence and self-doubt and ennui and regret and all the things that are so relevant today but she was doing this in the 80s. When a lot of music was shit and so it really stood out as gem-like then, and now. Plus, for you guitar nerds out there, there's some Johnny Marr/Smiths-like playing happening here: loads of 7ths (Fmaj7/Cmaj7/Dmin7) that give this song and many others they recorded a chiming, open-ended quality that matches the lyrics. I heart this band and I have for decades now. (swoon)
