Album Notes & Community Reviews

Shedding the acoustic folk-pop persona that earned her early Grammy recognition, the vocalist embraces lush orchestration and countercultural themes alongside her new backing band. The intricate arrangements and slightly surreal lyricism reflect a concerted, highly ambitious attempt to transition into the burgeoning psychedelic rock movement.
