This wonderfully crafted debut offers up a collection of indie gems. There are a number of similarities between Stella Donnelly and another Australian singer-songwriter who has broken big in recent years, Courtney Barnett. Both write catchy, (seemingly) simplistic and sun-kissed guitar pop songs; both tackle huge and at times uncomfortable themes with a blend of vitriol and wit. The grabbing hands of consent-ignoring old men, the intimidation of the marginalised, victim blaming, the under-representation of female sexual desire (and more) are all explored by Donnelly with both a wink and a frown here. The disconnect between glittering musical sheen and heavyweight lyrics might have the potential to annoy, but for me the sound/words juxtaposition enriches rather than diminishes. Guitar music always needs more feminist icons: Donnelly is a refreshing new talent who has lots to say, and isn’t in the least bit scared of saying it.
