3.5 greatTheManMachine | July 4th 17

Not quite the magnificent leap one might hope for on a debut followup, but evidence of evolution is everywhere: tunes once largely sticking to the two-to-three-minute range now rest comfortably at four-to-six, they stray from sounding demo-ish, acoustic less rusty, outdoor sounds minimal. And though that garage-folkie band-o-backups attain enterprise+emphasis, it's still very much Tica's show -- unadorned solo strummin' and tender huskiness remains the forte, and when she tosses in touches of electro-horns expect epic. Would like to hear more picture-painting lyrically tho, just cuz when occurring it's oft optimum. I.e., dealing with deaths, awkward run-ins at readings, everyone desiring drinks and serenity while viewing the news in bed ("Oh no oh no oh no.").

Bump
