The alt-punk duo I AM HER have kick-started their 2020 with a clout as they liberate their rancor-driven excursion into uneasy sturm und drang with their latest lo-fi, grungy single “Big Monster” — released 12th February 2020.
Julie Riley (vocals & guitar) formally from 90s cult band Rosa Mota (and one half of Crown Estate) formed I am HER as a solo project in 2016.
A year later she paired up with Jeff Townsin (drums) and the duo have since gone the whole hog…
On “Big Monster” front-woman Julie’s scranch-enriched vocals sailplane high, like an agitated eagle who has just escaped the steepest crag…
A kicking beat suffers under the table while the chorus confronts the listener with electrifying, spinnerette-style attitude and attendant, sibilant guitar-work. In other words, this piece has the same sense of agitated madness that harkens back to the likes of PJ Harvey or Hole.
