Brittany Davis - "Sepricon" from the 2024 album Image Issues on Loosegroove Records

Last we spoke with Seattle artist Brittany Davis, they had released an EP via\\xa0Loosegroove Records, the label ran by Pearl Jam guitarist\\xa0Stone Gossard (who is also Davis\'s bandmate in the side project,\\xa0Painted Shield). Now, they\'ve returned with their debut full-length album, titled\\xa0Image Issues, out March 1st on\\xa0Loosegroove. It\'s an ambitious\\xa026-track, concept-driven release,\\xa0interspersed with spoken word pieces by Davis, and with deeply personal lyrics touching on their "discrimination as a Black, non-binary, blind musician, to traumatic family experiences touching on abuse, gun violence, and the prison system." The LP was\\xa0co-produced by Josh Evans (Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Brandi Carlile), with\\xa0Gossard\'s full support. (\\u201cHe is everywhere in spirit and conception and love and vision,\\u201d Evans told Spin Magazine.)

Davis describes today\'s Song of the Day as "definitely born to funk...to soul funk! The record is an ode to James Brown and filled with thoughtless greatness...there really is no rhyme or reason to it...all primal instinct." Check out the music video below,\\xa0directed by Tony-nominated modern dance choreographer Donald Byrd (The Color Purple, The Minstrel Show).\\xa0
