There are two kinds of debut albums. The first kind is safe: a glorified LinkedIn profile set to music. Everything’s buffed smooth until it squeaks, the tracks so harmless they could sneak onto a playlist called Indie Sunrise Vibes and no one would notice. It’s music as networking; polite handshake, nervous smile, please don’t rock
