Taste Test: Dresage & G. Smith seek out some gummy ‘Therapy’

Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones

There’s something heroic in dismantling once-acceptable but still terribly misogynistic and bigoted social constructs. In the aftermath of gruesome weekly headlines, today’s generation is standing up in ways many of the ancestors did not and have inspired a whole new movement. One half of indie-pop’s monstrous force More Giraffes (and B-Sides & Badlands fave), Dresage steps out with gasoline-torched new anthem called “Therapy,” a collaboration with producer G. Smith. “Do my makeup / Life in plastic / We were told to settle down,” she broods on archaic standards for women before shredding them through an insatiable machine of sparkling and fuzzy indie-pop. Synthetic clicks and bloops bang and break against one another, and paired with Dresage’s carbonated vocals, a rather effervescently rosy aftertaste, put frankly, the song is a sugar rush the kind you’ve never witnessed, not even from Wonka himself.
