shortstraw.: bad turn

Erin West, who goes by the stage name shortstraw., hit the ground running with her single dot cotton, so could she do it again with her new one bad turn? Yes and no. She created a great jungle type beat for her tale about things going South in a spectular way, but a little more musical diversity would have worked wonders to keep the listener engaged.

shortstraw.: dot cotton

Erin West, who goes by the stage name shortstraw., is connecting the dots between dance, punk and grime subcultures. The new single dot cotton is a manic description of being really bored and angry, while trying to have a good time against all odds. Disgruntled kids of all ages surely can relate to that outlook on life. And it is damn catchy too.
