Strong second album by the Brooklyn-based songwriter and producer Barrie Lindsay, filled with musical invention but also fuelled contrasting emotions – the loss of her father, but also falling in love with and marrying fellow musician Gabby Smith. With her sensitive, gentle voice, there are many beautiful moments on this album, evoking some of the music of Sufjan Stevens, also infused with a variety of string and woodwind instruments, from opener Jersey all the way to closing track Bloodline, but two of the standouts bring electronica to the fore, such as former Song of the Day Frankie, and centrepiece Dig, with its multilayered vocals, the eerie but beautiful Quarry, and the slower-setting Concrete. Solid work. Out on Winspear Records.
