Queens Die Proudly

Pop, hints of goth, with well-sung, somewhat husky F vocal. Big synth, drums, piano, bass, a little guitar. Mostly written & performed by a somewhat unhappy woman (from the band “Hello Stranger”) with her man. A bit like later-era Golden Palominos or Material in production values, though this is based out of lighter pop. No covers on here, despite a few songs titled like other songs you may know. No FCCs. Ry Cooder plays on 2 & 7 (her man is his son)
