Judy Blank: “Toy Heart” [Backstage at ACL Fest]

Michael Minasi

Growing up in the Netherlands, Judy Blank fostered an early love for classic American cinema. She’s married that love with her stamp of DIY-indie eclecticism, sometimes leaning more Americana (something she honed during her brief time as a Nashvillian) and sometimes dreamy indie-pop, but always poetic, seemingly effortless, and marked with that signature Dutch wit and brutal honesty. Now calling Austin home, Judy Blank performed this past Friday at ACL Fest, and she stopped by our tent backstage to perform her no-delusions, not-so-love song “Toy Heart” from her new album Big Mood.
