Josh finally lets his inner fanboy out by talking to his favorite musician of 2022 — the one-of-a-kind genius Penelope Scott. After rising to fame and sonic virality on TikTok for her shockingly honest and extremely online songs, Scott went on to garner hundreds of millions of listens across the internet, along with all of the commentary you might imagine is unavoidable when that happens. Whether it’s songs about how Ted Bundy truly sucks, succinct takedowns of America’s broken healthcare system, or a deconstruction of the lies Silicon Valley tells us (set against an 8-bit carnival stomp of course), everything she touches seems infused with an energy that is uniquely of this moment. Discussed: The discourse behind the discourse, LMMS, four hour remixes, pandemic memory issues.
