On Your Own Love Again

Jessica Pratt, “On Your Own Love Again” (Drag City, 2015)
This acoustic acid-folk singer-songwriter’s stark, shadowy, ravishing debut was one of the best albums of 2013. This follow-up isn’t as direct, but when it sinks in there’s clearly an extension into new fields of melodic complexity and narrative sound-calligraphy. Great to see a performer so daring take even more risks, and have them pay off.
