Hannah Frances has very quickly grown into one of my favorite contemporary artists, and her new album 'Nested in Tangles' is a complex yet warm set of progressive folk, rich in dense horn arrangements and affecting lyrics about her own process of healing

I wrote about it for @treblezine.bsky.social

All three of their first Warner Bros. albums positioned R.E.M. as idealistic art-punk kids getting older. Only 'Automatic for the People' had the gall to portray them getting wiser.
