The music has a similar feel.
The lovely album opener, Lost, is about the impossible challenge of trying to access someone elses pain.
Along with being a bracingly honest reckoning with trauma and its aftereffects,Evergreenis also musically right-up-front.

Her last album,Sometimes, Forever,had some synthy experimentation.
Here the songs begin with her spare yet painterly Liz Phair strumming and build intoPet Sounds-like micro epics.
The very moving results brings to mind find-the-river classics like REMsAutomatic For the People.
