Show Me (CD)

THAO (Thao Nguyen) is a singer-songwriter best known for her boundary-pushing indie rock work both as a solo artist and as frontwoman of Thao & The Get Down Stay Down. On her sixth studio album Show Me, she turns inward with an unflinching, real-time document of rebuilding, centering a hard-won openness to love and vulnerability. Across 11 emotionally charged tracks, she blends raw storytelling with expansive, collaborative production (including Merrill Garbus of Tune-Yards, The Linda Linda’s, Neko Case, and Adrian Quesada) to explore desire, forgiveness, and self-reinvention. The result is an intimate, shape-shifting record that insists love is not just risk, but practice, embodiment, and transformation.
