An exquisite new release by the American singer-songwriter with a collection of crisply perfect lo-fi folk-pop acoustic numbers, wrapped in intriguing, intricate yet pared-back instrumentation, and sharply intelligent, vividly imaginative lyrics. Standouts include Sudden Light, the clever brass-infused Hatred Has A Mother (formerly a Song of the Day), I Was Just 14, a delicately heartbreaking story of losing virginity from which the ironic title of the album derives, Silent Extinction, Fire Storm, Lyrebird, and Sioux Falls, inspired by the idea of ants falling into a death spiral where the the lead ant loses track of the scent and they walk in circles endlessly until collapse. An outstanding artist, often underrated, but with songs as original and intriguing as the likes of the fabulous Fiona Apple. Out on Memphis Industries.
