Cool and supple, Dawn Landes’ immaculate voice could prove her chief shortcoming. Acting on the New Yorker’s second, self-produced album like pink top-coat, it misleadingly suggests you’re dealing with something pretty and pristine. In fact, as the liner notes thanking ‘car trouble’ and the King Of France alongside Gillian Welch and Woody Guthrie suggest, Landes’ bluegrass-inflected alt-folk often has an imaginative lyrical tilt that glides easily between the rural, urban and fairytale.
