Title: Good songs, great voice
Review: This is not mediocre-quality indie-pop. This lady actually has some talent. Her voice is gossamer and some of her arrangements (especially Primordial Soup) and chord voicings (several songs) suggest a much better rapport with the guitar and with music in general than might be expected from an indie folkster. The only complaint is that the disc's overall sound is somewhat subdued (compared to her live sound, which is more dynamic) and at times is glazed over by the production of the disc (a couple of the songs, the lazier, more ephemeral tunes, like "Sister," the production actually enhances the song), but the quality of the songs more than makes up for it... she is a truly gifted writer.
Is the review positive or negative?
