Sarah P. - Who Am I (2017). Sarah Psalti was the original singer for Keep Shelly In Athens, who were (for an all too brief moment in time) the best thing under the entire chillwave umbrella. She left KSIA years ago and her solo work has been ...not of the same calibre. Hey 2015 EP "Free" was so bad I felt embarrassed for her. The collaborative projects she did with other artists weren't very good either. I stopped paying attention for a few years and she's put out a fair amount of new material including a full length that came out 2 years ago. All I can say is ho lee shit the loudness war is over and Sarah won. Even after running the entire album through ReplayGain in Foobar (which does fuck-all for dynamic range but does at least turn the gain down to non-earbleed levels) I can barely listen to it. This album is physically fatiguing for me to listen to. This is shame as the music is sort of not horrible. It's far better than her earlier EPs and varied enough to keep it interesting. The mastering engineer that worked on needs to be taken out back and shot.
