A thesis:
what it means
to be a Rat Blanket.
Chicago based
musician and singer
Blanket aka Rat
aka Lillie Lilian Amadea
Hercules Sam West
released an eleven song
album called Hercules.
It is an endearing
and enchanting
journal found
in a damp time capsule.
Crafted last summer,
the lofi bedroom pop
sounds like Kimya Dawson
and Karen O in a 1995
cyber chat room.
It sounds like canceling
all of your
weekend plans
and instead dancing
on your bed
while listening
to old records.
Enjoy the album
via Bandcamp
(it's free)
as well as
the music video
for the track
“I Wish All Roses
Were Microphones”,
which is directed
by Molly Soda.
