jennylee - Right on!

Warpaint’s bass-wielding stronghold, Jenny Lee Lindberg, originally booked herself ten days in the studio. Intending to hit record on a whole bunch of demoes, which she’d release with little fanfare, the project quickly spiralled outwards into something more weighty. ‘right on!’ appeared out of the ether; a viscous, meandering, solo debut with the rough consistency of raspberry jam.

‘Right on!’ is built out of jams, as it happens. Jenny Lee Lindberg’s voice - which blended into the haze with Warpaint - breezes through the gaps, slighty raspy, but barely grazing the sides. Each song germinates in fast-forward, and bass lines (as you might expect) are often the integral lynchpin. Give those even a testing pull, and like a jenga tower built out out of four strings, ‘right on!’ instantly disintegrates into vapour.

It’s interesting tension, and the likes of ‘never’ and ‘boom boom’ thrive upon it. Wispy early-Cure guitar lines scuff and skate about atop paper thin sheets of ice, jennylee carving out her own distinct voice, alone and detached.
