iTunes Review
On paper, Jenny Owen Youngs could be described as a female singer/songwriter. She touts an acoustic guitar and was part of New York’s revived anti-folk scene in the early '00s. But with her third studio album, An Unwavering Band of Light, the New Jersey native journeys inward, surfacing with songs that wax the wizardry of R. Stevie Moore and the confidence of early Liz Phair. “Love for Long” opens with guitars jangling over a Bo Diddley beat as Youngs throatily sings “My daddy’s car/You know she’s built to last/And I take the corners hard and fast." That claim can also be applied to this album. Even in more romantic musings like “Your Apartment,” Youngs tends to put the pedal to the metal between verse and chorus, turning a breezy ballad into a memorable adventure. Youngs plugs in the guitar and turns up the distortion on “Pirates,” an archetypal indie rocker with a galloping rhythm, gang vocals, and infectious melody. The hushed “O God” downshifts to reveal a tough sentiment even in the midst of wistful melancholia.
Customer Reviews
So Jenny.
This album still has Jenny's musical style but with a touch of maturity in it.
I love it and I reget missing out on the kickstarter program for it, but now I can get it!
I can't wait to jam out to it while walking around my college campus!
So Good!
What an outstanding album! Definitely worth buying and many listens!
You should buy this
This album is worth every penny spent and more. The songs are creative, intriguing, exciting, and worth many many listens. You won't be sorry! Jenny did some fine work.
