She Makes War - Cold Shoulder

http://www.shemakeswar.com/direction-of-travel - get the album! https://shemakeswar.bandcamp.com/album/cold-shoulder-single - get the single! Written to while away a tense couple of hours waiting for her not-quite-boyfriend to set a time and meeting place for a callous dumping, Cold Shoulder is the bitter lovechild of Elastica and Queens Of The Stone Age. Laura’s surly vocal is a clarion call over urgent, grungey guitars as she demands to know: “What’s coming for me? Ex-girlfriend or STD?” You’ll have to listen to find out… Directed and edited by Laura Kidd.

I first got intro’d to the music of Laura Kidd AKA She Makes War, Penfriend and Obey Robots in about 2010. I didn’t really take enough time to really listen to her stuff properly, so didn’t get very engaged with her work.

I just started to give it another go and I have to say, her work is pretty terrific. There’s lots of musical variation across her different releases and personas. This song is pretty straight up indie rock, but there’s also electronic and folk elements on certain songs, as well. Some nice collabs with people like Tanya Donelly and Miles Hunt, too. If you dig deep enough, you can even find the club bangers and punk rock she was involved with in the 2000’s.
