Show Me How You Disappear
Jilian Medford’s third album is bigger, brighter, cleaner, and more ambitious. Even when she’s hollering, she sounds dwarfed, standing vulnerable but unafraid amid towering emotions.
Further expanding the idiosyncratic noise pop of her band, songwriter Jilian Medford's third IAN SWEET album, Show Me How You Disappear, steps up the production while adding shimmery synths to a sound palette still rooted in a combination of distortion and sweet-toothed melodies.
Los Angeles native Jilian Medford, who records and performs under the name IAN SWEET, has an incredibly soothing and angelic voice. While she’s been compared to Charly Bliss’ Eva Hendricks, her crystalline tone and breathy enunciation have an evocative timbre that makes her voice play like an instrument of its own.
