Viking’s Choice: Lisa Prank, ‘Take It All’

Lisa Prank

Inspired by the colorful sticker, Trapper Keeper and lunchbox art from which Lisa Prank takes her punny name, Seattle singer Robin Edwards makes bubblegum pop-punk for lovesick, rainbow-colored unicorns. Built around an electric guitar and a drum machine, her songs are simple and catchy like the Ramones’, but are recast for the intimate and imaginative space where these songs begin and expand.

“Take It All” comes from the perfectly titled Adult Teen, which follows 2014’s promising and crush-worthy debut Crush On The World. Edwards’ voice is reminiscent of Letters To Cleo’s Kay Hanley (via the Josie And The Pussycats soundtrack), as she sings about the division of memory-laden goods after a breakup. Books, records, coats and ultimately her heart are all ready for the taking, with a three-word chorus that’s as cute as it is cathartic.

Adult Teen comes out June 24 on Father/Daughter (vinyl + sticker book) and Miscreant (cassette).

Hi my friends! It’s been a wild and wonderful ride working on my new record and I’m SO beyond stoked to announce that I found a home working with the amazing Father/Daughter records. I am such a huge fan of the bands they put out (Happy Diving! Diet Cig! PWR BTTM!!) so this is truly a dream come true and a really magical fit. I’m so thankful & I can’t wait for you to hear it!! It will be out this summer so um....stay tuned?? :)

how I feel

[lisaprank]

I want to set a place for you at my table 

[lisaprank]

feeling weird today. isn’t that how most journal entries start? I think at one point this tumblr was used like a livejournal but now it’s mostly just reposting band stuff & my thoughts are kept in composition books. just wanted to swing by and tell you that even though everything’s going really good, today I was filled with that freeform anxiety I know too well and I only left my bedroom to go downstairs and microwave a burrito and one more time to go to bree’s room to hang for a second. I played guitar. I thought about cleaning my room but never did. I got really into reading this tarot book and wanted to write a fan letter to its author before learning that she died in 1982. I’m still thinking about cleaning my room and still feeling weird. I wonder if you can send fan letters to the afterlife?
