I Know I'm Funny haha could have been made by no-one else but Faye Webster.

At 23 years old, Webster already has a back catalogue that those many years her senior would make a deal with the devil for, and I Know I’m Funny haha only adds to the impressiveness.
From its opening notes I Know I’m Funny haha puts Webster’s skills on fuller display. The grooves get groovier, the jams jammier, the tears saltier and, as advertised, the jokes are funnier than ever before.

I just can't get enough of the indie girls... a good release after the other (depression is my best mate <3).

Best song: A Dream With a Baseball Player
