Scout Niblett's fifth album in as many years is engineered by Steve Albini and features four duets with Will Oldham. The record's world could be described as sonically anemic, which, it turns out, is a pleasant place to be: mired in cloudy, druggy reflections, Niblett seems to sit cross-legged, figuratively speaking, head down, a blonde wig perhaps obscuring her presence from her audience. It's only the moping we're allowed to watch, dislike, enjoy-- the crawling, dreary movements of her vocal cords, which take center stage on tracks like "Let Thine Heart Be Warmed", a rather Nirvana-y rock number without Oldham decorated with rangy, mangy verses.
Esta semana não tive tempo para ouvir muita coisa nova, portanto decidi dar este "prémio" a uma pessoa que já o anda a merecer há semanas, na altura, com o fresquinho "The Calcination Of Scout Niblett" e não com este, que só descobri (lá está) na ultima semana.
