Olivia Wendel: “Stop & Shop”

The singer-songwriter Olivia Wendel has an introspective blowup in the local grocery store. True enough, the checkout line is not the place to hash things out. Especially when people are waiting behind you. But wait… Is the subject of the narrative behind the counter, doing the checking out? Or being checked out by the customers, who treat her like a “sales item” on the shelf? We’re falling through this metaphor faster than Alice down the rabbit hole. Just relax and have a listen. Off the 2021 LP Windthrow.
