widow's daughter by maudlyn monroe
maudlyn monroe's debut studio album (released under slp) is a winding country-folk road. a set of traveling songs, written on and about the road, by a singer-songwriter working through what it means to lose and to move on and to settle into themselves, if they can. great for listening in the car, going to sleep, or, based on a number of real-time responses, if you want little girls to dance.
*while now using more they/them feels, slp was proud to be a widow's daughter and felt that twice-filtered gendered identity was very telling in how they grew up.

Classically trained, with a love for riot grrl and 70's NY punk, maudlyn monroe is a vocalist/guitarist/saxophonist/pianist with an up-tempo emo feel—an electrified lackadaisical punk. Their voice, with its three octave range, has been called "angelic" and "soulful", "bird-like" and "desperate", and lends to quiet folk contemplation, shocking soul, and raw punk sounds.
