Rabid ruthlessness

grassDianne is a memory pulled from the past, set to a pulse. Jess Cornelius’s voice gives us detail, emotion, commentary. She sings with a non-diegetic narrator’s authority and distance from the action, even though she’s singing about herself (but a self that is long gone and far away). It’s a volatile story paired with a dance tune from the 00s: surprising rhythm and sweetness. A song to bop around with, to puzzle over. I love the way Cornelius sings, “Some things just down work out that way, Dianne.”[BUY Give Up On Your Health]
