There’s a moment at the start of the track “The Mantis and the Whale” where Beth Isbell says that she wants two recreate the feel of “the Village in New York in the ‘60s.” Fair play to the artist—her efforts prove to be very successful.
There’s a suave, Lou Reed-esque jazz-rock-poetry vibe about her delivery, and a lifetime of experience in her voice. Isbell’s keyboardist and co- vocalist Holly Murphy, aka Holly Wood, can also hold a sweet note while belting out some glorious melodies on the keys. The styles switch in a blink, but that’s a strength, and the songwriting is superb.
