Sometimes when you like at an album you have an idea of what to expect. That’s never been more true than it is here. Jenny Owen Youngs is an indie pop artist among indie pop artists.
“Nighty Night” has neat keyboards and reminds some of Dido. It’s very mellow and makes you want to peel oranges, after which you’ll use the rind to make tea. “Start + Stop” has a ukulele going on, which helps call attention to the occasional country references that this album has.
“Led to the Sea” is more contemporary and has a glockenspiel. It also has the same melody as “Do You Think I’m Sexy.” It’s a little subtle, but you can hear it if you try. The best track is “Last Person.” It reminds one of another Jenny, the one named Lewis, and has musical stylings that would make Neko Case blush, especially if she had been drinking.
This album is pretty much a winner front to back. It will be interesting to see what she comes up with next.
