I was
super late getting this one out, so everyone gets to hear the
Patreon songs! Also, found poetry!
Album
of the
Week:
Lydia
Loveless
-- Daughter
Daughter
finds Americana stalwart Loveless
at the ebb of significant upheaval: a divorce, a relocation, a
cathartic but tumultuous outing of bad practices at her previous
label, Bloodshot Records, the reverberations of which are still
being felt three years later.
But
all of that has led to one thing: out with the bad, and in with the
good. On Daughter, Loveless
is searching for answers amidst a way forward. She’s continuing to
explore that sort of disco pop that’s marked her last few releases,
though that sense of freedom has also drawn her to explore some
back-to-basics Americana with much more sure-footed songwriting.
It’s still a Lydia Loveless album, after all, and there are plenty
of albums to cry, sip, or smoke along to: whatever it is that helps
you feel washed clean after a good bout of searching the bottom of
your soul.
