Pocketknife – Mr Little Denims (Spotify) (Tidal)
Launched in 2014, that is the one full album by Monica Birkenes, an L.A.-based artist that carried out below the stage title “Mr Little Denims.” I first encountered this album taking part in in a denim store in Vancouver once I half-recognized a tune that shortly revealed itself to be an unforgettable cowl of Arcade Fireplace’s “The Suburbs” (hear for that alone, it is what a canopy must be). With an indie attraction that resides in distant results, crisp vocals, and a sound that’s someplace in the identical sonic area as Banks, Haerts, and maybe a splash of Haim, I have been listening to this album for 5 years, and it shines for its mixture of readability, tempo, and easy type. In case you ask me what I feel, I might say, “Finest play ever, man.”
