With its ominous escalations, Bullette’s “When You’re Tuff” explores the paradoxes of strength.

Recommended if you like Sharon Van Etten, Fever Ray, PJ Harvey, Anna Calvi, Cat Power, Nick Cave, and Angel Olsen.

You curse the wind, You come unwound

When you’re Tuff, When you’re Tuff

You catch some air, You kiss the ground

When you’re Tuff, When you’re Tuff
