Album Notes & Community Reviews

After a six-year recording absence largely dedicated to starting a family, the British artist notably strips away the 'folktronica' elements that defined her early success. Produced by Tucker Martine, the album utilizes a live band setup to craft warm, purely acoustic folk arrangements. The intensely personal lyricism and intricate, finger-picked guitar work demonstrate a profound maturation into traditional singer-songwriter territories.
