Polly Panic
Polly Panic makes this list not only because of the sheer coolness that is her 2018 album titled ‘Losing Form’, but also because she singlehandedly made the cello f*cking cool. It always was, but now it’s accessible in the mainstream.
Polly Panic is Jenette Mackie, who wrote and recorded the 10 songs comprising this album in 2016-2017, sandwiching the process around time spent rehearsing and touring both coasts with her cello-driven band Rasputina, founded by Melora Creager and formerly including Zoë Keating and Julia Kent.
Arguably the best Polly Panic album yet, this also represents a turning point for this artist, having joined forces with Write Hook Records on the heels of touring as part of Rasputina. Inspired by PJ Harvey, Tom Waits, Tori Amos, and Nirvana, this is cello-driven art rock with intense, powerful vocals and lyrics that take center stage.
