On her fourth full-length. the Nashville (by way of New Orleans) singer\/songwriter displays impressive use of texture \u2013 musical light and shade \u2013 to produce a warm and inviting (yet decidedly insular) sonic landscape. While her earlier releases have been categorized as modern folk, on <em>Sweven<\/em> she rocks (check out the sultry, snaky vibe of the too-brief \u201cWidow Maker\u201d). The album synthesizes many musical styles into a unified and original whole. And Waggoner isn&#8217;t afraid to push disparate sonics up against one another: the chamber-room piano figures of \u201cEgg Shells\u201d are preceded by some vocal gibberish that suggests <em>Twin Peaks<\/em>&#8216; dancing midget. Every track on <em>Sweven<\/em> is a fully-formed and unique work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>File Next to: Suzanne Vega, Zero 7, Penelope Houston Waggoner may be an associate of Jack White, but with its tinkling keyboard and pizzicato strings, this expressionistic album feels more [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10197,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[49,51,62,65],"tags":[2618],"class_list":["post-10196","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-release","category-pop","category-rawk","category-review","tag-brooke-waggoner","cat-49-id","cat-51-id","cat-62-id","cat-65-id","has_thumb"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10196","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10196"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10196\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10198,"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10196\/revisions\/10198"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10197"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10196"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10196"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10196"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
