Ian Sweet has been a band, then a solo endeavor, and is ultimately the brain child of Jilian Medford. She, a Los Angeles native and Berklee College of Music grad, has expressed herself in many iterations.
After all of these albums, is any one more “Ian Sweet” than the other? Do her clandestine pop shrieks overshadow her indie murmurs? Or is she still a rocker deep down? With her new album Shiverstruck, released July 24 via Polyvinyl, it’s none of the above. She’s making music that is more “Jilian Medford” than anything she’s made before.
