Creating from a place of sobriety can be difficult, especially if you’ve told yourself that whatever you’re on—be it the drink or drugs—is what makes your creative impulse thrive. But when sisters Jennifer and Jessie Clavin (the duo who make up Bleached) decided to sober up and record a new album, they found that, hey, actually, sobriety made their shit better! The Los Angeles–based Bleached released their third record, Don’t You Think You’ve Had Enough?, to critical acclaim. It’s equal parts disco, pop, and straight-up rock and roll, with a clear-eyedness that deviates from their signature fuzzy sound. “Rebound City” is a thudding breakup anthem while “Somebody Dial 911” is a dreamy cruise through ’80s post-punk.
