In the genre’ of alt-pop, there is a tendency to come off sounding the same as other practitioners, borrowing formulaic styles to fit within a neat, oversimplified context. That’s why it is so pleasant to run across an artist such as She Makes War (a.k.a. Laura Kidd) that borrows, extends and adds to the context, making it accessible within the genre’, but keeping it totally unique. Here on Exit Strategy from She Makes War’s April 2012 long-player, Little Battles, Laura makes use of these techniques quite nicely!
