V&V Episode 122 Laura Larson(Scrunchies, Kitten Forever) & Bikini Kill/Huggy Bear's Split 12"

There’re not enough good things I can say about today’s guest, Laura Larson! Currently, the primary singer and songwriter for the Minneapolis band, Scrunchies. Their latest album, Colossal, is being released on August 23rd on Learning Curve Records. In short, the album is amazing. Full of lush textures and dynamics, in some part, due to Steve Albini’s sonic treatment that he kind of had on all the projects he worked on. Some part, Laura and the band grabbing hold and claiming stake of themselves as seasoned artists fully in control of their powers as they rolled into their third full length record.

Whatever the magic, it was captured perfectly and available now for vinyl preorder as well as other formats here: https://lcrdistro.com/products/scrunchies-colossal-copy?variant=45024867942554

But wait, there’s more! Did you know that Laura has played in other bands too? Yes! And those were all great too! I’ll just give the quick list version, but seriously, you can’t go wrong with any of these.
