Sub Pop’s Alicia Mognanno has been on heavy KEXP rotation this year, and for good reason. The singer-songwriter/producer known as “Bully” will share a musical repertoire four albums deep at their show this week, including their newest full-length Lucky for You, which was released just two months ago. Lucky for You and its predecessor, the 2020 album Sugaregg, reveal a deeper, moodier side as Bully processes isolation, getting sober, and a bipolar diagnosis. Bully’s new music also tackles the collective grief compounded by the attack on LGBTQ communities and women’s rights in the US over the past years. Prepare to dance, maybe even cry, and definitely scream, because despite some difficult themes, Bully fuckin’ shreds. Think grunge, pop, and feminist punk icons like Bikini Kill and Sleater Kinney. by Brittne Lunniss
