Album

compare & contrast, 2025.

for compare & contrast

"Takes the sugary side of pop, ties it to the back of a truck, and runs it through a few mud puddles. While there are plenty of sonic nuances to explore here, Handler's songwriting steals the show. A moving piece of pop-punk that explores profound, personal truths."

Glide Magazine
"Knows exactly how to toe the line between sincerity and sarcasm. She confirms her knack for turning emotional debris into raw, compelling rock-pop, layered with character and charisma. Crackles with energy, wit and emotional precision – a jagged, indie-rock-tinged gem."

Tits Upon Tyne
"Will have you putting on some fishnet tights and a slip dress. The production's rawness makes you nostalgic for '90s grunge female rock (think Courtney Love/Hole). The chorus is catchy and anthemic and builds up that rage feeling we didn't know we'd been containing."
