No sun

"No Sun is at its most daring when Gonzalez brings together her gifts for abstract pop songwriting with her newfound embrace of unfettered avant-garde tendencies. "No Escape" pairs vocal hooks that would sound at home on The Velvet Rope-era Janet Jackson with a wobbly synth and blown-out free-form drumming. It's one of many moments on the album that shouldn't make sense but does, with Gonzalez finding a more precise way to communicate despair and frustration by using uncommon combinations of sound ... It's raw and fearless, and just as the earliest Nite Jewel albums quietly set the course for entire musical movements of their time, it wouldn't be surprising if No Sun helped usher in a new era of forward-moving conceptual pop".
