Edie McKenna pulls no punches on the sunny pop hooks of “Kick in the Shin,” a spirited kiss-off to a toxic father. The Chicago-based singer-songwriter is probably best known for her project Modern Nun, but her upcoming EP For Edie is a solo affair that collects songs she wrote between the ages of 17 and 22. The songs focus on her experience growing up as a young queer woman in a religious environment.
