Le Tigre
Le Tigre
Instantly one of my favorite albums. All of Kathleen Hanna's badass attitude from Bikini Kill with the catchiest damn tunes you ever did hear. The opening tracks "Deceptacon" doesn't waste a single second before launching you into the pulsing guitar, while "What's Yr Take on Cassavettes" is a deceptively simple feminist call-and-response. And "Let's Run" is pure lo-fi new wave perfection. This is how I like my girl power.

Every day and night
Every day and night
I can see yr disco disco dik is sucking my heart out of my mind
I'm outta time, I'm outta fuckin time
I'm a gasoline gut with a vaseline mind but
Wanna disco? Wanna see me disco?
Let me hear you depoliticize my rhyme
—"Deceptacon"

We've talking about it in letters
And we've talked about it on the phone
But how you really feel about it
I don't really know
—"What's Yr Take on Cassavettes"

Oh we could rock
Or we could bomb
Or we could try
Like super hard
—"Let's Run"
