"Oh my god/ You didn’t know I’d get ferocious," Thao Nguyen sings on her latest album, A Man Alive, out this month from Ribbon Music.

It’s a tough, deeply personal, powerfully dissonant album, and it’s Thao’s strongest to date. She’s back, and she’s not pulling any punches. Adding grit and urgency to Nguyen’s songs is producer Merrill Garbus, better known as tUnE-yArDs.
