#wildflag — Public Fediverse posts

Self-Titled Summer | Wild Flag (2011, US)

Our final entry in this series is a spotlight on number 346 on The List, submitted by mfennvt. This Portland- and Washington D.C.-based indie rock band was the quartet of Carrie Brownstein, Janet Weiss, Rebecca Clay Cole, and Mary Timony, previously of bands such as Sleater-Kinney, Quasi, The Minders, Autoclave, and Helium. This s/t was their debut and ultimately only album, but each member has continued to make kick-ass music elsewhere, including the reformed Sleater-Kinney, Pavement, and Ex Hex.

Happy listening! And with that, I’ll now be taking about a month (maybe more) off from writing up new 1001 Other Albums blog posts. Take care of yourselves, and I'll meet you back here in November with more excellent Fediverse-recommended music.

#Helium's 2 records & "Ends with And" oddities retrospective are favourites in my collection 💿

Mary Timony is a guitar wiz & biting lyricist: first EP full of feminist fury, Helium's some gorgeous #altrock, then her solo work went Renfaire, #prog & confessional.

Then boyfriend Ash Bowie may be known to music geeks as part of #mathrock act #Polvo.

Mary has taught the next gen musos - including #SnailMail.

Still rocks solo, as part of #ExHex, prev. #WildFlag
