Patience may be a virtue, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. And after two years of waiting for Lissy Trullie to release a followup to her buzzy 2009 debut Self-Taught Learner, the NYC musician is back with a new LP.
Lissy Trullie takes the D.C. native’s artful, slightly-off-kilter sound and gives it a more polished twist, thanks to producers John Hill (who’s also worked with Santigold and M.I.A) and TV on the Radio’s Dave Sitek. But don’t worry, she hasn’t ditched her spontaneous vibe entirely. With cameos by tape recorder microphones, drum tracks, and lots of hazy overlays, DIY has never sounded so awesome. MORE
