Hailed as one the finest British singer-songwriters of recent times, Thea Gilmore makes serious efforts to earn the accolade on Avalanche. Alternating between Dylan-style political rants, oceanic folk and idiosyncratic oddities recalling Tom Waits, she purposefully proves that, musically and lyrically, she is worthy of your closest attention. In herself, she certainly believes she's fighting the good fight. With its muted cello and tinkling music box, the title track is both a virulently accusing state-of-the-nation address and a maudlin lament for a young generation that refuses to get involved. This is followed immediately by "Mainstream", where Gilmore kicks out...

Gilmore sings in a distinctly Los Angeles accent about consistently British concerns--a combination of her upbringing in Oxford and a somewhat oppressive infatuation with such American angst peddlers as Sarah McLachlan and Shelby Lynne. While The Lipstick Conspiracies, her second album, isn't exactly bad, it never quite transcends its influences. Gilmore's songs are built to a standard country-rock template, occasionally decorated with distorted effects, and her confident voice lends adequate service to her words. Unfortunately, these lyrics, while impressively wordy--it also seems safe to assume that her record collection contains a good few dog-eared Elvis Costel...

Prolific British singer-songwriter Thea Gilmore returns with her eighth album in ten years, and it will come as no surprise to those that have followed her work since she was a teenager that Liejacker is as dense with natural smoky jazz mannerisms, fine folk details and stark soul-searching lyrics as anything she's committed to record before. The humble consistency across these 12 original tracks, and one slightly obtuse but perfectly infectious country cover of Dead Or Alive's "You Spin Me Round Like A Record", is particularly noticeable, surpassing even that of 2005's fêted major label debut Harpo's Ghost. This record is much softer, less glossy, and know...
