It’s no secret that the zeitgeist is brimming with negativity right now.

The comedy of Aparna Nancherla is a refreshing splash of fun amidst these tense times. As such, her debut album Just Putting It Out There, off of Tig Notaro’s Bentzen Ball Records, is a pure delight. Nancherla works in subtle layers of social commentary and existential quandries in the hour, but does so in such a bouncy, bubbly way that you almost forget that she might be doing jokes about depression or feminism.

Like we said above, if you feel the need to laugh and smile right now, you should get Just Putting It Out There right now. By the way, it’s available on iTunes, Amazon, Bandcamp, and on CD.

We say “yes” to all of this.

After a number of releases off of Secretly Canadian, Tig Notaro is launching an imprint label called Bentzen Ball Records.

The name of the label comedy from “…a guy named Ole Bentzen who apparently died of a heart attack from laughter while watching A Fish Called Wanda,” says Notaro. It’s kind of a perfect story for the name of a comedy record label.

On top of that, the first release should be a doozy as it will be the first album from the fantastic Aparna Nancherla. Called Just Putting It Out There, it will come out July 8th..

See a preview of it here.

So, keep an eye on Bentzen Ball Records in the months to come.
