NPR’s Song of the Day today features Seattle’s own Visqueen. NPR writes, “Seattle’s Visqueen has long felt like a closely guarded regional secret, in part because singer Rachel Flotard spent the past few years caring for her terminally ill father. After his death, Flotard took time to regroup, do some overseas aid work, start her own record label and release a wonderfully ferocious new album, Message to Garcia….The crunchy, urgent power-pop of “Hand Me Down” opens the album on a particularly auspicious note, as crunchy guitars and Flotard’s incomparable voice simultaneously destroy and mesmerize.” Click the above link to listen to the song.
