Discovering Broken Down Golf Cart is one of the most rewarding choices we have made lately. You see, the Liverpool-based creative champions a highly feverish and unconventional aesthetic, both from a visual and sonic standpoint. A quick glance at her Instagram bio reveals an artist who knows perfectly where she stands: “spacey grunge and fuzzy weird love”. It’s a formula we can agree with, one that unveils a wealth of aural escapism and wholesome, playful lyricism.
Known by day with her human moniker Jennifer Baranick, the Canadian-born creative champions a truly DIY ethos, writing and producing all of her material. We appreciate that, and it’s something that drenches the project in authenticity and personal flair. In an industry where folks tend to constantly imitate each other, it’s refreshing to see people not afraid to walk their own path. Broken Down Golf Cart does exactly that, albeit with elegance and melodism. Her songs are still relatable and catchy, just on the psychedelic side of things.
The project’s latest album, ‘Funeral Smoker’, has now just been released, and it’s a triumph. Marking the culmination of years of hard work and artistic abstraction, the record invites listeners into twelve episodes of unapologetic sonic peculiarity. Built on light grunge influences, lo-fi production and an overall indie allure, the album flourishes on gritty guitar distortions, noisy synths and uplifting drums, leaving ample space for Baranick’s hypnotic, otherworldly vocals. What more could you wish for?
