SOMEWHERE ELSE

Product description

Two years after the critical success of her breakout Bloodshot debut, Indestructible Machine, Lydia Loveless emerges from the trenches of her hometown Columbus OH, gloves off and brimming with confidence on Somewhere Else. While her previous album was described as "hillbilly punk with a honky-tonk heart" this one can't be so quickly shoehorned into neat categorical cubbyholes. After several years spent performing everywhere from rowdy festivals to pin-drop quiet dinner sets, Lydia and her cohorts have coalesced into a band with broad rock & roll range.

Review

Like so many young creatives mining the nooks and crannies of American roots music, it's easy to categorize it as "alt-country" in the sense that it looks to the past as much as the present to craft a sound of the future, but Loveless' emotional honesty and lithe genre-melding are indeed singular. --Spin

Brimming with brashness and vulnerability, confidence and insecurity, and can leave you not knowing quite what to think. --the Boston Globe
