Performing Songwriter Magazine: DIY Top 12 Picks

Who We Are, What We Have Done is a heart-wrenchingly and deeply inspiring debut from New York-based Jessi Robertson.

Robertson expertly mixes an alt-country vocal style with electronic drumbeats, possessing a voice that commands attention from the first note. Her tone is captivating, whether floating in a whispered reverie or letting loose over unconventional lyrics and acrobatic melodies.

Opener “Geometry of a Heavy Heart” displays her propensity towards abstract lyricism, while “Papers & Magazines” best sums up the record: “We don’t need our names in the annals of history / ‘Cause we know we are and what we have done.” - BW
