Words sometimes fail Carla Bozulich. That would incapacitate most singer-songwriters, but the former frontwoman of Ethyl Meatplow and Geraldine Fibbers has the taste and tools to turn such a seeming shortfall into an artistic asset. Although she hadn't recorded a band album since the final Fibbers CD, the result is a masterpiece in its own right, driven by Bozulich's powerful vocals and fleshed out by the innovative guitar work of Nels Cline and a postmodern country/jazz/rock band that includes violinist Jenny Scheinman, bassist Devin Hoff and drummer Scott Amendola.
