LOCAL! A piano-and-voice suite from Lucy Liyou, who is based in San Francisco. Their piano playing here is stunningly fluid and rich, and they take their vocal work to daringly candid lengths. (They've experimented with text-to-speech on previous releases.) Formally spare but packed with ideas and containing a vast emotional range. RIYL claire rousay, Bjork, Klein, Billy Strayhorn, Full Spectrum Records. 2 and 5 are great places to start. FCC WARNING: 4.
1. (3:22)—Solo piano. Complex and dissonant, starts gentle and slow but gets loud and staccato.
2. *(4:12)—Solo piano. Again slow and serene to begin, but mostly remains that way.
3. (3:54)—Piano and voice. Tumultuous, cathartic, with soft near-shrieking.
4. (3:06)—FCC (piss). Piano and three spoken vocal tracks going at the same time, creating a feeling of urgency.
5. *(2:47)—Solo piano. Romantic and pulsing, nocturnal.
