I feel inside my body when I listen to Mannequin Pussy. The pop-punk power chords and lead singer/guitarist Marisa Dabice’s raw, searing vocal put me there. Despite the chaos of it all, Mannequin Pussy are centering in a way. Fresh off the release of their third full-length, Patience, the Philadelphia quartet’s music can sometimes feel like an anxiety spiral (“Cream”) or the train of thought you have when you’re drunk and at a weird party, like on “Drunk II” (“And everyone says to me / ‘Missy, you're so strong.’ / But what if I don't wanna be?"). It’s punk in its most emotional form. by Jas Keimig
