Joana Serrat’s last album was produced by Israel Nash at his studio in the Texas Hill Country town after which it was named, Dripping Springs. Serrat returned to Texas to record its follow-up, at the Denton studio of Midlake guitarist Joey McClellan. As a member also of Nash’s band, he played on Dripping Springs and here creates even more spectacularly windswept soundscapes behind Serrat’s starlit voice. Beneath the widescreen sonic vivacity, her songs stir like emotional weather fronts, squalls and torrents of familiar heartache made startling and numinous on an album full of haunted reflection and soulsearching reverie.
