They Mean Us
The Ladies ·2006
"I think that this record shows how good collaboration is, which is really important to me, to how much they bent rules in music and they were able to just kind of do whatever they wanted but still hold on to things that make their music strong."

Any Other City
Life Without Buildings ·2014
"I fell in love with this album because of her vocal delivery. I think it's like one of my biggest inspirations. Our voices aren't very similar, but the way that she fills space in songs and the way that she can find gaps within the music that no one else would really sing is really inspiring."

Feel Like Makin' Love
Roberta Flack ·1975
"Roberta was like one of the first people I listened to that really introduced me to like good production, like good drums and really good chords and figuring out ways to sprinkle in little things in the instrumentals like how to feel a song sonically."

Madvillainy
Madvillain ·2004
"Mad Villain, just remember all caps when you spell the man name. I chose it specifically to talk about MF Doom and Mad Lib's side projects. I mean, this record is iconic and both of them are insanely talented."

Tender Buttons
Broadcast ·2005
"I think this album is pretty perfect. Trish Keenan is an incredible songwriter... I think what I loved about Trish was the eerie kind of twist that came with her music."
