Review: Sierra Ferrell – I Could Drive You Crazy

There’s something really special about the title track from this EP, the way that the vocal line matches the fiddle line is pleasing to hear every time. Almost as if Ferrell is playing a game with music and lyricism as she professes the slightly annoying things in a relationship that annoy her other half, but always doing it with a cheeky smile. ‘Dollar Bill Bar’ shows that Ferrell won’t be straying far from roots music any time soon. It has a catchy hook, with a bouncy guitar backing that almost defies the listener to not click and shuffle along. The last track, ‘Fox Hunt’ explodes with energy from the off, its fiddle furiously kicking off this poetic track. A perfect mix of lyrics matching music, the subdued verses build on one another and the chorus emulates the hunt beat by beat. The entire EP is infectious, fun, mischievous and might just be Ferrell’s best release yet.     To read more exclusive articles and latest news, see our last issue here.

Review: Little Lore – Seven Stories Part Two

When we reviewed the first portion of this album, we were spellbound by her Tricia Duffy’s ability to highlight unique perspectives with her songwriting and it’s no different with the second part. The stripped-down production still adds to each track, most notably ‘Little Pieces’, which magnifies every small detail to create an uncomfortable atmosphere that feels all at once too close and too far away to see. The choice to end this second part on the upbeat, ironic and funny ‘It Would Be Easier To Miss You If You’d Died’ feels like the cherry on top of a delicious Little Lore sundae. The track plays with humour and also hits emotionally, a trick that is the envy of many a writer. More like a dreamscape than a reality, ‘Seven Stories Part Two’ ticks all of our boxes and the isolated guitar parts on the tracks only makes it better.     To read more exclusive articles and latest news, see our last issue here.
