It's that time of week again. This week's #MusicWomenWednesday is Lonnie Gunn, who was raised in New Jersey but now resides in London and releases her music via Jazz Life Records. I hadn't heard of her and I have to check out her back catalog, but new single "Lucky Girl" from this year is a catchy, fuzzed out alt rock style synthy rocker that reminds me of That Dog, Throwing Muses or Belly, maybe.

Discovered the massively talented Samara Cyn a couple days ago, perfect for #MusicWomenWednesday this week. Samara's strange, interesting delivery and lyrics make for some really wild shit. She has a great sense for melody, dynamics, and the production is killer. Her cool, odd, high-pitched vocal, kinda like a dirtier, rappier Macy Gray or something. "Bad Brain" came out last week, and this fucker is an EARWORM, man.

This one might be kind of an acquired taste, but once it has its hooks in, well..

Yung Lean (Jonatan Aron Leandoer Håstad) is a Swedish (experimental) rapper and multi-instrumentalist who has a new one coming this year (and the single is a BANGER, I love the weird sing-songy nature, and it's a great video, too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjYkr78anZs).

I've been going through Yung's back catalog today, as I'm fairly unfamiliar. Turns out, he's diagnosed bipolar (properly medicated now), fronts post-punk band Död Mark, and also releases indie rock/neofolk stuff as Jonatan Leandoer96.

The production on this stuff is wild. I wasn't too into his first mixtape, but even by his first LP in 2014, he's really making some amazing shit. But full album wise, I feel like he really starts hitting hard around 2020's LP 'Starz'. Psyched to hear his new one 'Jonatan' later this year in May.
