Fiery provocateuse Carsie Blanton - a songwriter who “tackles gender and genre expectations through songs that are smart and funny as they are well-constructed” (Rolling Stone) - will release her new album Love & Rage on April 30. The follow-up to her acclaimed 2019 album Buck Up - which NPR’s Fresh Air named its #4 album of the year (right between Billie Eilish and Megan Thee Stallion) - Love & Rage features eleven new, original songs concerned with the stark realities of the past year: the consequences of our politics; the precarity of our economics; and our total reliance on each other.
