Sidney Gish - Live WGBH 2017-10-19

This tip comes from friend and colleague Alexandra, whose SO manages Sidney Gish.  She's generated a good bit of buzz recently (Billboard, Fader, Pitchfork) and the best way I can think of to describe her is occupying the charming, quirky, lo-fi triangulation of Courtney Bartnett, Lisa Loeb, and Times New Viking (with an honorable mention to the fictional Corey Flood).

I need to explore her catalog further, but in the meantime this live, four song set at WGBH is a great place to start, with "Hexagons and Other Fun Materials" and "Presumably Dead Arm" the stand out songs.  Her first LP is "Ed Buys Houses", her second and most recent LP is "No Dogs Allowed", and it would not surprise me to learn that she has an unreleased demo tape called "65 songs about Joe".
