On October 6, former Be Your Own Pet frontwoman Jemima Pearl will release her debut album, titled Break It Up via Ecstatic Peace. The album, which includes a duet with Iggy Pop (“I Hate People”), is billed as a change for Pearl. Press release gods say,”her defiant snear is now complimented with pop melodies that make it clear hers is a voice to be reckoned with.” Whether or not that means she’s sold out and made a crappy record remains to be seen.

01. Heartbeats
