Monthly Spin: Fitz & the Tantrums - Self-Titled

The Monthly Spin is a recurring feature on Feminine Things wherein I talked about an album I'm loving and the perfumes I think go with it.

This 2010 full length album debut is absolutely fantastic. I know that "Money Grabber" has been playing here in Rose City for a while, and other tracks are now trickling in as well. If you ever wanted to buy an album that encompasses every emotion that comes with a love gone wrong -- bitterness, sadness, anger, regret, desperation, jealousy, rejection, loneliness -- this is the albums. songs about being deceived, about leaving, about wishing you'd done better, about hating the person you used to love has now become, the list goes on and on. And while I am not now and hope to never be again in the throes of a break-up, I can still relate to this immensely emotionally charged, soulful album.

Recommended if you like:The Black Keys, Muddy Waters, The Heavy

While spinning, wear: Scents soaked in anger, resentment, and regret of what the heart has lost, and both loathes and yearns for. For me? Ava Luxe Film Noir, slumberhouse Kote, By Kilian Love and Tears, Etat Libre d'Orange Jasmin et Cigarettes.
