Major Arcana
“On their proper debut, Speedy Ortiz join a small club of young indie rock bands writing lyrics that are actually worth poring over, but the charms here extend beyond frontwoman Sadie Dupuis’ clever and biting wordplay. The 1990s-indebted guitar crunch and quaking rhythms are a perfect match for her dark wit.”
Rabbit Rabbit
“There’s a superstition that saying “rabbit rabbit” on the first of the month brings good luck. It’s one that Speedy Ortiz frontdemon Sadie Dupuis subscribes to. She’s even kept a Twitter thread with the phrase going since February of 2018, and to click through each month’s recitation feels like falling down a rabbit hole itself.

Yet Dupuis is no mass-market ingenue. Despite toying with a glossy pop sound on “Get a Yes,” an anthem to consent from her 2016 solo record Slugger,”
Real Hair - EP
“Speedy Ortiz's four-song EP keeps runtimes tight and choruses front-and-center, pulling in some of Major Arcana's looser ends without sacrificing the fall-apart charm. The band still worship at the altar of early 90s indie—Pavement, Helium, and Archers of Loaf are their holy trinity—but frontwoman Sadie Dupuis has emerged as a distinctive voice.”
