The New Yorker Sings The Praises of Sunny War’s New LP

According to The New Yorker, “Anarchist Gospel, a wistful new LP by Sunny War, was created with an aerodynamic Nashville band that smooths the singer’s edges, yet the record still revels in taking unexpected turns. Throughout, War skates between worlds, tucking gospel choruses behind ransacking guitars and choosing a melancholic ballad to quote the sloganeering British punks Crass. With a mischievous twinkle, she covers Ween—an ostensible children’s choir helps her through the lyrics ‘F**k you, you stinking ass ho’—dropping the song amid her own compositions like a stench bomb in a tulip field.” Read more here.
