Album Notes & Community Reviews

Representing her brilliant sophomore studio album and her debut for Jagjaguwar, 'Burn Your Fire for No Witness' remains a landmark statement of 2010s indie rock and singer-songwriter folk. Produced by John Congleton, the eleven-track record fuses her skeletal, raw acoustic-guitar picking with full-band alternative and slacker rock grit. Lyrically, the compositions deliver an anxious, highly introspective, and melancholic diary of loneliness, heartbreak, and existential search.
