Hole In My Head opens with a shot of pure exhilaration: The title track is classic, racing punk rock with an absolutely great hollered chorus. It’s furious and thrilling and perfectly sets the tone for the second solo album from Laura Jane Grace, the anarcho-punk singer of Gainesville, Florida’s Against Me! who came out as transgender in 2012. Grace sounds fantastic—her voice less smooth and less shredded, but as passionate and aggressive as ever. “Dysphoria Hoodie” shifts gears back to the folk punk that Against Me! pioneered and perfected in the early aughts, when they defined the sometimes acoustic genre with strident attitude and a flair for the dramatic. Grace has explained that “Any trans person out there knows what a dysphoria hoodie is—it’s the hoodie you wear when feeling low and dysphoric and you don’t want the world reading your gender … Instant protection from the outside world.” The fitful acoustic track has the spirit of a protest song even as it begs for comfort: “Dysphoria hoodie, please do swallow me … Plenty reasons to fear whеn you don’t fit the mold/ You are my armor when facing thе world.”
