Femme fatale Jenny Lewis has never sounded so passionate and her songs never so hard-hitting and acerbic as on her aptly titled solo disk 'Acid Tongue'.
The album follows 2006's 'Rabbit Fur Coat' and a series of acclaimed albums with indie rock fave Rilo Kiley. Featuring collaborations with She & Him and guest appearances by Elvis Costello and Chris Robinson, of the Black Crowes, 'Acid Tonguee' is a near perfect listen.
The all analog, no pro-tools sessions were all part of a shared aesthetic between Lewis, her producers, and her musician collaborators, working quickly and tracking her vocals entirely live and without embellishment. Recorded at sound city studios in Van Nuys, California in just 3 weeks, the album's tracks, disparate as they are, share a sparkling vitality; Lewis' voice has never sounded so expressive and the narratives have never been so poignant.
