If Only There Was A River

Anna St. Louis, “If Only There Was A River” (Woodsist, 2018)
The Woodsist label has a much lower profile than it did a few years back, but it still puts forward outstanding work in its folk-psych ambit, and this is a case in point. The trancey, diaphanous melodo-trippy singer-songwriterisms here evoke Laurel Canyon wraiths from Hope Sandoval to Jessica Pratt, but there’s a gently rootsy, matter-of-fact quality that makes St. Louis’s stuff distinctive and as quietly exhilarating as waking up to a summer sunrise with nobody else around.
