Somewhere Else

Lydia Loveless emerges from the trenches of her hometown Columbus, Ohio with gloves off and brimming with confidence on Somewhere Else. While her previous album was described as 'hillbilly punk with a honkytony heart,' this one can't be so easily pigeonholed. thematically, the ten songs here are stark in their honesty, self-examination and openness. Somewhere Else is more elemental than any of Loveless' previous material, all anchored by her arresting voice. Creatively speaking, if Indestructible Machine was an all-night bender, Somehwere Else is the forlorn twilight of the next day, when that creeping nostalgia has you looking back for someone, somewthing or just... anything.
