her touch remains as delicate as ever

David Bevan / Spin Magazine

Three songs into Lisa Germano’s eighth album, as an unfussy guitar line
gives way to a winsome waltz led by her own violin, she sings the
realization “That the world could be so simple.” Of course, Germano has long
since realized that it’s anything but, so she proceeds to rasp devastating
lines about “turning families into target practice” (on the title track)
while wrapping her grave words with filigrees of piano and chimes. Little
has changed since her mid-90’s 4AD heyday, but instrumental bagatelles like
“Marypan” and “Kitty Train” reveal that her touch remains as delicate as
ever.
