Citroen / Van De Geyn - Songs for Lovers & Losers - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Vinyl LP pressing. 2014 album from the Alt-Country singer/songwriter. Two years after the critical success of her breakout second album, Indestructible Machine, Lydia Loveless emerges from the trenches of hometown Columbus, OH with the gloves off and brimming with confidence. While her previous album was described as Hillbilly Punk with a Honky Tonk heart (Uncut), this one can't be so quickly shoe-horned into neat categorical cubbyholes. No, things are different this time around Loveless and her band have collectively dismissed the genre blinders and sonic boundaries that come from playing it from a safe, familiar place. Writing from this new-found place of conviction, Lydia crafted 10 songs that are stark in their honesty, self-examination, and openness.

Every year, in partnership with the Musée d'Orsay, Royaumont Abbey welcomes duos of young singers and pianists who have come to study art song and Lied. In this very unusual year when working as an artist has been made particularly difficult, the Abbey has also become a refuge. Once again, the B Records tag has come over to lend an attentive ear, producing an album with a programme brimming with great classics and new discoveries. Duos on this include Mikhail Timoshenko and Elitza Desseva, Kaelig Boche and Elenora Pertz, Axelle Fanyo and Adriano Spampanato, and Grace Durham and Edward Liddall.
