alt text
album art for SAD13's new mixtape/album "1331". collage style art on a pinkish canvas, with a young paper doll style girl painted in black robes, carrying a scythe. around her are rolling green hills that look like a field or golf course, with yellow and red flags. adjacent to her is a goose. across the top left and right are the artist name and the album title in various colors
speedy ortiz frontwoman sadie dupuis returns to her solo project "sad13", this time with a set of rigid constraints that end up paying off.
all of the songs on the record are under two minutes, with most of them hovering between a minute and ninety seconds. you'd think this would make for some kind of scattered, unlistenable hellscape, but it instead it builds into a folio of dense, layered collages that still feel like complete statements.
each track feels like the distillation of a sadie dupuis song - the kooky chord changes, the GBV-by-way-of-bubblegum-pop melodies, the obfuscated-yet-straightforward lyrics - but pressed into tiny squares. the song structures are compressed, the stories are truncated, but all of the magic is there.
i've cherished all of the devilishly inventive projects she's done over the years, but this one really feels like peak form. if you've got fifteen minutes to experience this in full, it's worth your time.
