This fifth solo LP by American Nandi Rose Plunkett strips her music back to a piano ballad pop format but with added electronica, and her subject matter is again infused with intense emotions and dark humour, even to fear of total identify loss. This feeling comes to the fore on Orange Blossoms (“Somebody hold me hostage /Somebody make me think I might be worth something”), and Swimmer is the other standout track. Horse Racing is spiked with synth arpeggios, and on Sodium and Cigarettes there’s a heavy reverb on vocals that mingle with keyboard sounds. while in The Apartment, smoking becomes a new form of self-absorption. Eccentric, intense, but oddly bewitching with a strong voice that has echoes of Kate Bush. Out on Anti Records.
