Description
“Necessary brattiness” is the motto in Speedy Ortizs dauntless new collection of songs, “Twerp Verse.” The follow-up to 2015’s “Foil Deer,” the band’s latest indie rock missive is prompted by a tidal wave of voices, no longer silent on the hurt theyve endured from society’s margins. But like many of these truth-tellers, songwriter, guitarist and singer Sadie Dupuis scales the careful line between what she calls being “outrageous and practical” in order to be heard at all.
“You need to employ a self-preservational sense of humor to speak truth in an increasingly baffling world,” says Dupuis. “I call it a twerp verse’ when a musician guests on a track and says something totally outlandish like a Lil Wayne verse but it becomes the most crucial part. This record is our own twerp verse, for those instances when you desperately need to stand up and show your teeth.
