Little Plastic Castle, Ani DiFranco's ninth studio album, marks 25 years of cultural impact with its mix of personal reflection and mainstream success. With chart-topping hits like "Glass House", the album explores themes of independence, mainstream success, and the challenge of staying authentic. This 25th Anniversary Edition features a remaster by Heba Kadry, three bonus tracks, and the album’s first vinyl release. Recorded in Austin, the album blends Ani's signature style with outside musicians, including Jerry Marotta and Jon Hassell. Its wide-ranging themes—from love to impermanence—remain a staple in Ani’s live shows, with tracks like "Fuel" and "Swan Dive" still resonating deeply. Celebrated by NPR as one of the "Greatest Albums Made by Women," Little Plastic Castle remains a defining moment in Ani’s career and musical legacy.
