Maryn Jones elicits chills in the context of All Dogs’ clangorous pop-punk and Saintseneca’s newfangled folk, but Yowler presents her purest essence: voice, guitar, and atmospheric swirls of noise that descend just when the heart starts to race. The Offer is an eerily intimate singer-songwriter record, one that almost feels like spying on someone else’s private moment of beauty. It transfers a trembling K Records sensibility to a Midwest metropolis that only feels haunted when you’re alone at night — or “alone in the bathroom, filled with love for fluorescent light.” –Chris
