My wild west

"Heartfelt songs of pain, solidarity and rural retreat: llinois singer Lissie's third album My Wild West has a west-coast pop sheen to it, but touches of acoustic guitar and banjo suggest a country feel. This contrast mirrors the album's theme: Lissie's retreat to a rural life in Ojai, California, after becoming disillusioned with Los Angeles ... Lissie's voice in its lower register sounds husky and vulnerable - but when she lets rip on huge choruses, such as those of Hero and Wild West, it's quite a fearsome instrument".

"As good as these moody moments are, My Wild West is best once the darkness settles, and Lissie offers nicely sculpted miniatures that feel alternately comforting and bruised, with the human touches Lana Del Rey works so hard to remove from her own music".
