It's practically Dessa Day here at The Current.

Tonight we're hosting Dessa Deconstructed, an event where the local singer-songwriter will break down her new album Parts of Speech word-by-word and beat-by-beat. She'll be performing tracks from the record at different stages of their production leading to the final recordings.

If you aren't attending Dessa Deconstructed, here's your chance to listen to the Parts of Speech final product one day before it releases.

After you stream Parts of Speech, read Andrew Swensson's review and watch the live Dessa Deconstructed webcast.
