Everyone's favorite blue-collar goth Monica LaPlante has made her triumphant return with the new(ish) track "Tinted Light." LaPlante traveled to Jack White's Third Man Records pressing plant in Detriot, Michigan back in 2018 to record the song, and after many months of waiting, it was debuted last week on The Current's The Local Show.
LaPlante has always had a knack for painting pictures in her songs that the listener can easily place themselves in the middle of. Her lyrics are visceral, and "Tinted Light" is no different. The second verse of the song makes its misanthropic meaning ever apparent as she croons, "If there is a god / He would not want to welcome me / I will play no games and take no land and bear no young." The nihilistic lyrics are combined with raucous instrumentation for another instant classic from the songwriter.
"Tinted Light" is LaPlante's first release since her 2016 EP Noir. It's out now via Hollander Records. Find it anywhere you get your music.
