I first learned about Howard over ten years ago thanks to a stray comment on MetaFilter, and she’s since become one of my all-time favorite artists. So it’s a nice bit of payback to write up this lengthy MeFi post exploring her musical career in advance of her new album and tour, whose first single “What Now” dropped today. If you’re not familiar with Howard, prepare to be blown away.
Have you seen her tinydesk performance? I know, I know, tinydesk, but she fucking slays.
