Transgender Street Legend, Vol. 2 is the eighth extended play (and fifth wide-release) by American singer-songwriter and producer Left at London, released on September 25, 2020. The EP was promoted by the singles "6 Feet", "Do You See Us?", "Safety First", and "T-Shirt". It is the sequel to her EP Transgender Street Legend, Vol. 1, which was released in November 2018 to "a rousing reception".[2] The title Transgender Street Legend is a reference to a video on the social media platform Vine, where Puff achieved much of her early notoriety.[2] The third and final EP in the Transgender Street Legend trilogy was released on June 24, 2022.

Music

[edit]

Puff called the EP "strictly bedroom pop" as the entire album was self-produced in her own home, aside from "6 Feet" which was recorded by Dylan Brady in Los Angeles, California.[1] Much of the EP was recorded during lockdown, which Puff said "has been a detriment to many people's mental health, my own included, but goddamn it if I haven't been making some bops here and there!"[2] The song "T-Shirt" was written by Puff pre-transition while still in high school.[4]

"Do You See Us?" previously appeared on her two-track EP Jenny Durkan, Resign in Disgrace. The track is a "call-out" to Seattle mayor Jenny Durkan, who Puff "holds responsible for condoning police violence and causing 'the citizens of a historically gay neighborhood to be gassed on the first day of Pride Month'".[2] The track also pays tribute to Summer Taylor and Cherleena Lyles, two people murdered by Seattle police.[2] "Safety First" is described as "thoroughly bedroom pop, with stylistic nods to mid-2000s indie rock like Beck and The Strokes seen through a more contemporary lo-fi lens".[1]
