“A stray cat marches across the keys of a giant church organ, and Madi Parker’s voice bellows out. Her poetry is a weird, loud holiness that fills the room. It sobs, it celebrates, it apologizes with its fingers crossed. Madi’s work is covered in cat fur and claw marks, and is the most honest song you’ll hear about you and everyone you know. Amen.”
