On Edith Frost's second full-length CD, the Chicago-via-San Antonio chanteuse elaborates on the noir-ish indie melancholia of her promising earlier works. With unusually empathic instrumental support from musicians associated with Royal Trux and Pinetop Seven, Frost warbles in a lilting, neo-rural fashion without ever falling into the commercial trappings of country music. Placing an off-kilter, fuzz-laden ambiance over her pensive introspection, Frost simultaneously straddles several American folk forms, including art-damaged psychedelia and minimal back-porch balladry. Quietly powerful in her role as a dusky, lovelorn singer/songwriter, Frost evokes straightforward emotions with subdued lyrical poetry. Songs like "My Capture" and "Walk on the Fire" reveal Frost's sentimental yearning paired with a marvelous ability for self-observation. Her understated vocal stylings create an intimate encounter that is both softhearted and strong-willed. --Mitch Meyers
