Rhythmic rollercoaster of raw dirty acoustic awesome, the debut release from Princess Possum - “Songs of a Depressed Anarchist” gets you up to dance and keeps you up to raise a fist, especially once the breakdown hits in “I’ll take the bus” followed by the epic shanty that is “within a devil” weaving the torture of our inner demons. “Small Chapters” starts off the second half of the album in a pure melancholy of despair with just a dash of hope for the future we all really want. Possibly my favorite track on the album “The P.O.S. Song” is the modern anthem that causes one to drink, chant along with friends and punch a white nationalist. The sing-along doesn’t end when we get to “Shower Beer” because I feel like we can all relate to the sentiment of small comforts during hard times on some level and the comedy of the little things. The record ends with “Dysphoria And You” a message that speaks strongly to the current culture, and to see and hear an artist so honestly place their heart on their sleeve, I can only hope helps inspire people to see the world from another perspective.
