    I first learned about Howard over ten years ago thanks to a stray comment on MetaFilter, and she's since become one of my all-time favorite artists.

If you're not familiar with Howard, prepare to be blown away.

    I saw the Shakes live years ago back when I was in school, and God damn could Brittany sing. "Be blown away" is absolutely right, this song is a jam; so different from what I was expecting. Thank you for sharing, both the article and the single are great. I'm looking forward to the rest of the album.
