Jersey-born, LA-based singer-songwriter Katrina Weissman arrives on the blog with “Pet Slug,” your new favorite slice of indie pop-rock.
“Pet Slug” gently fades in with the ‘90s vibes of dreamy guitar notes, wonderfully setting the stage for this introspective number. After a few bars, the rhythm section bursts to life, bringing with it some distant swells of violin, allowing listeners to float away from all of their earthly trials and tribulations.
Soon enough, Weissman’s voice enters your ears and, within it, you will find the reason that we simply could not resist “Pet Slug.” Her delivery is led by the obvious inspiration by artists such as Fiona Apple, Dolores O’Riordan, and Mazzy Star, culminating in an emotionally-charged vocal performance that will leave you enchanted and wanting more.
The track comes complete with a vibey guitar solo and an ensuing breakdown that will satiate anyone’s desire for dynamic ebb and flow. From there, the refrain is bound to lodge itself inside of your brain, making for one hell of an ear worm. “Pet Slug” in founded on the relatable subject matter of emotional exhaustion and is part of Weissman’s new EP, Phantom Thumb, now available everywhere.
