Description
The tiny inhale before the second verse of Matchmaker tells you exactly how close Haley Blais wants you for Wisecrack. Her second LP is full of slyly candid writing, where a line flips from self-doubt to gallows humour in half a bar. Arrangements stay lean and purposeful, letting the melodies do the heavy lifting rather than crowding them.
This pressing gives the songs room to breathe; space opens up around the vocal stacks, and the low end sits deeper without smudging the detail. You hear the band tuck in and pull back at just the right moments, which suits Blais’s unshowy, conversational delivery.
File it next to Julia Jacklin on our Melbourne shelves, though Blais leans a touch brighter and more sarcastic where Jacklin goes austere. Matchmaker is the entry point, but the slower final track lingers, a curtain call that sharpens the whole record’s perspective.
If you’d rather order online, you can buy Haley Blais records online with us. Sleeve notes and sequencing reward a front-to-back play, and it’s the kind of modern indie-pop songwriting that grows over a few spins rather than chasing a quick hook.
Quietly confident, quietly cutting, and genuinely replayable. Shop online or dig for it in our Preston store while stock lasts.
