An impassioned second album from the Grammy- and Golden Globe-winning singer/actress, this neatly deviates from the throwback orientation of the debut.
Consisting of modular synthesizer operator Matt Carlson and bass clarinetist Jonathan Sieflaff, this experimental/post-rock project already stands apart with instrumentation even before they impress with their improvisational, motif-based compositions. Their ninth album overall and third for the Thrill Jockey label finds them collaborating with a chamber ensemble including pipe organ on select tracks. - Marcy Donelson
