Following a shakeup in Speedy Ortiz, Sadie Dupuis found new confidence as both a bandleader and a songwriter on her latest album. Foil Deer is full of jagged bursts of '90s-inspired indie-rock, highlighting the vigor of her smartly crafted wordplay. During their recent performance at KEXP, Dupuis and the band took command of the room in this live performance of "Raising The Skate."
