After playing second fiddle (literally) for psych folk luminaries like Metabolismus and the Tower Recordings for the last decade Samara Lubelski finally steps out and releases her first proper solo record. And boy is it lovely. Dark meandering folk, with hints of psychedelic swirl and Appalachian twang. Ms. Lubelski's drowsy murmurred vocals are sorta reminiscent of the Pastels' Katrina and Aggi (but much more self-assured and in tune) or even more so Yo La Tengo's Georgia Hubley. Delicate chimes and fluttering flutes compliment her voice perfectly. Oh, and P.G. Six drops in to play along on a couple of songs.
