Details:
With studio assistance from Dave Eberhardt and Josh Seurkamp, Russell's debut floats with a melancholic etherealness, punctuated by the vocalist's intuitive and visceral songwriting talents. Russell confesses to being a latecomer to musical performance, held back by some initial stage fright. But the music on Merge, while laid-back, exudes confidence and passion. Russell has a wonderful way with words and her lyrics are effective in their poetic insights. You come away from Merge thinking you know a little bit about Russell as a person. But, ultimately, it's Russell's voice that is most grabbing. Like Ani DiFranco without the overexcitability and histrionics, Russell's vocals have versatility and elasticity, but also an intimacy that befits her open, emotive lyrical approach.
