Review

After releasing six albums in four years, Harpo's Ghost comes after a two-and-a-half year break. All that, and Thea Gilmore is still only in her mid-twenties. With beefier production, her ambitious songs here take on staggering dimensions. there's everything from the hypnotic pummeling of "Everybody's Numb" to the magic forest of "Whistle and Steam" and the brassy pop of "Cheap Tricks." After the auspicious round of early albums that commenced in her teens, she's grown even further with both her lyrics and melodies. Gilmore has never shied away from social issues and topical matters, but continues to excel in making the sentiments more universal by giving them poetic dimensions which enhance their resonance. She's equally at home with the small details which give life to character-driven narratives, as well as turning her attentions towards romantic quandaries and longing. --David Greenberger
