Hole In My Head features her most personal and emotionally gripping songs of her career, stripped down masterpieces like Dysphoria Hoodie are paired with blistering distorted anthems like Hole In My Head and Birds Talk Too, tracks that demand the listener’s attention with an immediacy and urgency unlike anything Laura Jane Grace has written before. Laura Jane Grace finds herself at number six in The Punk Site‘s 2024 Top 40, not her first appearance in the top ten as she also contributed to Red Scare Industries20 Years Of Dreaming & Scheming compilation that made number nine, a rare achievement?

“Hole In My Head is a record which captures the nuances of humanity and experience in a strangely optimistic manner. The lightness of its influence and the journalistic recollection of experience set against a battered and warm folk-punk delivery from beginning to end makes Hole In My Head a fun comfort. It is a welcome embrace of life and just the start of a new chapter in Laura Jane Grace’s raucous journey.”
