The Seth Bogart Show ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ http://sethbogart.com/ https://twitter.com/sethbogartok ~~~~~~ POUTY ~~~~~~ A pout is a strange facial expression—it takes muscle to make that perfect curvature of the bottom lip, a gesture of adolescent annoyance or feigned attraction. And it's in that fine line between sweet sensuality and melancholy where Pouty finds its sugary garage pop sound. "Sad" is a great example of this: it embraces the sad girl aesthetic, to look pretty when you cry. Pouty is the brainchild of Slutever's Rachel Gagliardi. Where that band is fueled by jagged punk-pop, Pouty is delicate. Gagliardi recently moved to Philadelphia from L.A.—Amanda X's Cat Park also plays in the band—which makes for a conceptual negotiation: "Sad" has a slow California chill filtered through the harsh reality of an East Coast existence. "Run away to freedom/ Self-evaluate," Rachel sings, "How many times will I tell you I feel sad today?" "Sad" is a song about depression, rooted in insecurity—the moment after making a decision and wondering if it was the right one. It's as universal as that complicated wrinkling of the mouth. -- Maria Sherman + https://poutypouty.bandcamp.com/ + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ WILD AT HEART ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pedal-steel slunk rock from members of Chondria, Blank Spell, Haldol & Latex. + https://wildatheartphl.bandcamp.com/ +
