3.5 greatTheManMachine | March 26th 16

Vet-status ragged-n-sensitive female alt-country-but-quite-country duo that's been active beside a varying cast of fellas since '89 or so -- and though it's their first album in over a decade, it conveys what vet-country damn well should, that is to say they're casually earnest, genuine, down-n-out-n-proud of it, prone to provocative diction and pilfering nursery rhymes for addiction metaphors. Their voice-weave is an uber-gripping and seemingly sporadic force of beautiful disparity on its own, and the partaking ensemble dispenses just the right amount of schooled swagger-accompaniment for their slurrin' and croonin', whether it be fury-infused rock that wouldn't dare blow its top or the prevailing broken-ache dismay and eerie intimacy. Effortlessly exudes elegance, but never without some tinge of rusty suffering. Usually a solid go-to elegance-buffer, if you ask me.
