CRITIC'S PICKS: Lera Lynn

Lera Lynn

Fri. Dec. 12
Lera Lynn, Vinyl - You won't find many reviews of Americana singer/songwriter Lynn's sound without the word "noir" describing her enigmatic, often hushed voice and ethereal music. The austere singer/songwriter's big break in the second season of True Detective seems pretty far in the rear view mirror, but she's still at it and her new album, Comic Book Cowboy, might be her best. Stark, sparse, dreamy yet powerful songs tumble from her in a shadow-show of mystery and imagination that'll mesmerize and captivate you. Hypnotic and entrancing. - Hal Horowitz
