In her video for “good graces”, Georgia Pettit is a hot mess of a runaway bride smearing lipstick across her face, eating a wedding cake with her bare hands, and using the train of her white wedding dress like a napkin. Not much is really known about the New York City-based musician who records under the name Our Lady of Sorrows, but if the A-side to her debut single for the Brooklyn independent label, House of Feelings, is any indication of anything, it’s that she’s in no rush to get to the alter or one to do anything conventionally in her creative relationships. “But I don’t want to drown / All alone / In some southern hell,” she sings over a sizzle static and electric ripple of guitars while compressed drums sputter off sparks throughout. The listen puts an added voltage behind the notion of power-pop, with Our Lady of Sorrows being the apparition of a life overloaded by the thought of settling for something confined and ordinary.
