Apt. #5 by Julie Ruin (1998)



In the ashes of Bikini Kill,  Kathleen Hanna was looking to do something different. So, she recorded the basic tracks for a new album by herself in her apartment. She then cleaned it up in the studio and released the album under a pseudonym, Julie Ruin. While the music was lo-fi, instead of punk, the lyrics and vocal delivery were just as powerful as ever. Here is my favorite track on the LP, Apt #5.
