My deficit of sleep is only about to get larger, but I have no problem staying up late when Jessica Lea Mayfield will be there to keep me company. Her Dan Auerbach-produced 2011 release, Tell Me, was a delightful gem of guitar centered indie-folk, but if "Oblivious" is an indication of the stylistic shift we're in for on Mrs. Mayfield's new record, Make My Head Sing..., then there's a whole lot to be excited for. Hard-edged and fuzzy, "Oblivious" is certainly a few notches of intensity higher than anything we saw on Tell Me, but it retains Mayfield's distinct lyrical style and pop accessibility.
Give it a listen and make sure to stop by Winston Salem this weekend for Phuzzphest!
