The West Against The People

In the past, indie and punk artists frequently included passionate essays with their releases, but this trend has largely disappeared in today's political climate. However, Mary Ocher's latest album, The West Against The People, bucks the trend with an accompanying essay discussing immigration, intersectionality, and more. Ocher's record is a diverse mix of genres, incorporating spoken word, opera, and more, reflecting the chaotic nature of our current times. In a refreshing change, Ocher is unafraid to speak her mind on topics such as immigration policy.
