Called the “perfect springtime road-trip indie-rock album you didn’t realize you deserved” by Rolling Stone magazine, Victoria Park ’21 has generated a lot of buzz for her second album, Nothing Sticks. Living in Chicago and performing as Pictoria Vark, the Chicago Reader says the Grinnell alumna’s specialty is “writing dynamic, sentimental indie rock led by her clear, vulnerable singing and melodic bass guitar.”
