So, there’s more news coming out of Saddle Creek. In addition to Tuesday’s news regarding the upcoming Bright Eyes releases, they have also announced a new album from Maria Taylor, formerly of the band Azure Ray, and now a full time solo artist. The new album is called Lynn Teeter Flower, and will hit stores on March 6 along with the new Bright Eyes Four Winds EP. The album is the follow-up to 2005’s critically acclaimed 11:11.
The songs I’ve heard, which are available here for download, show the diversity that she is capable of. “A Good Start” is wispy electro-pop with a big chorus. Take out the electric guitars that crash the party as the song is winding down and this might fit into a VH-1 Sunday morning countdown. But don’t take out the electric guitars. Add more if you can. A bit more interesting is “Lost Time”. It takes a somber, reflective lyric and sets it to a delicate, frail folk melody. The song is poignant and insightful as it reflects on some tough luck and, well, time lost.
