a Review by Anna Maria Stjärnell
After a long absence Lisa Cerbone returns. She has
made a record produced by Mark Kozelek from the Red
House Painters who also plays on it. Her delicate
vocals and sensitive songs are as appealing as ever.
"How You Shine" is a lovely thing. The song echoes
recent Innocence Mission in a good way.
"Sweep Your Hair from Your Eyes" is a quietly
uplifting song. Cerbone's voice dances gently round
Kozelek's guitar.
"Araby" tells a haunted tale to a
sweet backdrop.
"Beautiful Mess" is the Sundays reborn
as a folk band. Mark Kozelek's voice hovers in the
background and sounds right at home.
"Mrs Foster" is
another suggestive tale. Lisa Cerbone lovingly details
her character's life.
This album is beautiful and rich.
