#31 | Le Butcherettes | bi/MENTAL
Rise Records

According to Chris Powers: “Le Butcherettes have not only created an album of satisfying and addictive rock, but they’ve also managed to create something to touch the parts of the heart and mind that deal with unspoken, deep heartache. Even from a place of confused sadness, Teri Gender Bender writes songs with such a burst of realistic humanity that this is truly an album for a wide range of moods ranging from positive to negative. It is an exciting feeling to realize that you’ve just heard something from a favorite performer that can be considered their crowning achievement, and that is what I felt after listening to bi/MENTAL. Not just one of the best albums of the year thus far, bi/MENTAL is an instant classic.”
