Finely-crafted harp-centered folk rock enlivened by a varied bindle of wide-ranging allusions and dazzling figurative language. The sophomore release from Stanford alum and East Coast native, Lizzie No. Lyrics are poetic and stretched taut with emotional resonance. Arrangements are delicately-whittled and effortlessly blend elements of Country, Blues, and Alt Rock into a unique, contemporary sound.
