Dilly Dally, Heaven
For some singers, it’s the voice. For others, it’s how they use it. I’m still trying to figure out which one it is most for Dilly Dally’s Kate Monks but either way, she’s a marvel. Monks has a breathy, raspy, grainy voice whose singularity makes it even more impressive that she uses it to create such a range of tones — from a whispy, smoky sweetness to a raw, unbridled screeching that wouldn’t be entirely out of place in a black metal band. The fearless, self-possessed power of Monks’ rawness is matched, too, by her fellow frontwoman, guitarist Liz Ball, whose heavy, fuzzy 90s guitars churn away throughout. This is adventurous, edgy, thundering indie rock with a shoegaze metal sheen. Highlights: “Doom,” “Marijuana,” “Heaven”
